Open a Windows Explorer window and click on "This PC". Ensure your C drive is set as the SSD and verify there is sufficient space available. The Nvidia installer may indicate low space, but leaving old program data on the HDD shouldn't severely affect the new installation unless it was installed afterward. If you haven't made any changes post-installation, consider formatting the drive to remove any potential issues such as viruses. It's a good idea to back up important files before proceeding.

I believe there may be outdated chipset drivers or conflicting files, which could have occurred if a full reset wasn't performed.

search for disk management or create and format hard disk partitions. Click it. Find disc 0, which is your C drive; right-click over 0 drive, then select properties. The name of the drive should appear visible.

Back up all desired files to a USB drive. Perform a full reinstall using the provided link. Avoid selecting an ISO image as the boot option. When prompted for a USB, choose the option to create a backup for this Windows PC—click it and it will restore a clean vanilla OS. Option 2 involves resetting the PC when asked to keep files; this will erase everything except the operating system, but it doesn’t perform a full reinstall.

Did you always possess those two drives? I initially assumed you were referring to programs you installed yourself on your HDD, but if those are Windows files then this might become quite complicated (it's as though Windows was installed on the HDD at some point).
But my earlier remark remains valid: ensure your SSD is now your C drive and format the HDD. Reinstalling Windows on the SSD after your HDD was erased could also be beneficial (you might even remove the HDD before installation just to confirm and reinstall it afterward).

that's the reason this wouldn't lead to issues.
it seems like an older Windows setup, but your C drive is crucial.

It seems you're checking for additional Windows installations on your D drive and asking about the available space on your C drive.

My C drive is here, but I'm not very familiar with PCs.
