You want to keep your data safe on the 500GB SSD and avoid losing anything from the 1TB SSD. That sounds correct. I recommend taking those two drives off your computer to prevent any loss. After that, install Windows on a new drive—either NVMe or SATA, it doesn’t matter. Once it works, turn off the machine and add the 500GB drive. Restart it and back up your important files from that drive. The 1TB drive is trickier now; secure boot makes fixing the boot system difficult, so you may need to reinstall Windows if issues arise. Let me know if you need more guidance.
