During the install, have only the one drive connected, the 1TB SSD.
Physically disconnect the HDD.

Yes, remove the HDD while you install as explained above.
Here is the reason:
During a clean install, windows will allocate a small hidden recovery partition on a second drive if it can find one.
No problem so far, but you will not be able to boot if you should ever have to remove the HDD.
Without any other drive present, windows puts everything on the ssd.
