First I would set up the motherboard and graphics drivers, but for the second drive this tutorial can assist.

Ensure the drive hasn't been formatted yet while using Windows 10. Click the Start button, select Disk Management. Below, your drives will appear. Any with black lines indicate they're unformatted. Right-click those and choose Format Disk, then proceed with the instructions. If it's already formatted, no further action is needed.

link your device to the computer. If Windows was set up on the storage device, ensure you're starting from the correct drive in BIOS. Once active, it should appear as a secondary partition just like before. Transfer the files you need—opening your old user folder might take some time. After copying, format the new drive and use it normally.

The system should automatically assign a letter (D: or ESmile for the drive, probably if an optical drive is connected. You’re ready to begin adding programs and installing files onto it.

Search for "disk partition" in Windows. Ensure the 500GB drive is formatted and you have the option to label it once you create the volume.
