You're seeing two Windows installations because you're installing Windows 10 on both drives. To have just one, you need to choose which drive to use for the installation. You can select the first M.2 drive during setup and skip the second one.

Would you like to remove both? In that case, you can easily do it in the Windows installer by choosing advanced installation and deleting all partitions. Then choose one to install on. You can also format the other one during installation, if desired. Otherwise, you’ll need to handle it afterward using the computer management tool.

You followed the steps correctly by clicking format, choosing partition 0, and proceeding as intended. This method should work for installing on a single drive rather than both at once.

If they match the same model, it doesn't really matter... however, the optimal approach is to connect only the correct operating system drive during the Windows installation.

Have you considered starting from a blank drive and using Disk Management to format one of the existing drives? Alternatively, you might physically remove the SSD you wish to use and reformat it afterward in Disk Management. These approaches could resolve the issue you're facing.

It seems uncertain, but it could potentially help.
