You installed a 2TB SATA SSD from your old system without using it for the operating system. You tried to wipe and repartition it on your new machine, but it doesn’t appear in the partition manager. Since you don’t plan to save any data, you can safely clear it and start fresh with the new drive.

Maybe the BIOS was set up incorrectly or Windows 10 has a glitch. Try removing the CMOS battery for about half a minute, then reinsert it and wait a few seconds before turning it back on. If you have a reset button or jumper, use that briefly. For Windows issues, consider updating or reinstalling if the problem persists.
