You're facing a common situation when upgrading storage. Since Windows is currently installed on your SSD, you'll need to safely remove it before replacing the HDD and NVMe drive. You can use tools like Disk Cleanup or a disk partitioning utility to wipe the SSD clean. For the HDD, you can perform a diskpart cleanup or use a recovery tool to recover data if needed. Regarding the NVMe drive, you can run a dskpart or similar command to prepare it for installation. If you want everything to start fresh, follow a step-by-step process to remove all Windows files and partitions before installing the new drives.

It seems you're asking about using Windows commands to wipe an SSD with disk parts. You might need alternative methods since standard tools aren't designed for secure erasure. Consider using built-in utilities like Disk Cleanup or third-party software for proper data removal.

Launch the Windows installation USB immediately. At the installation screen, choose the partition you wish to install on, then click delete for each section. The drive will become unpartitioned and ready for installation. You won’t need to use Disk Part.
