Hello! Yes, unplugging your HDD and performing a clean W10 reinstall on your SSD should preserve everything you have on the HDD. After installing Windows on your first drive, if it still shows as "foreing" in DiskPart, a quick format can resolve that issue. For a clean install on your SSD while keeping the HDD intact, you’re on the right track.
