NikkiHeat1234 If you want to be extra careful, you could pull your other drives before installing Windows onto the new one. It's not necessary; the point is that you know you're not going to install Windows on the wrong drive because the other drives aren't there.
As for the process in general, you'll want two USBs, or one USB and one other computer for storing data. Create a Windows ISO using the Media Creation Tool:
Before proceeding, go to the driver download page from your motherboard manufacturer, and download all the drivers provided. You'll store these on a different USB (not the one with the Windows ISO), or you can store them on a different computer and transfer them later. Download the latest Nvidia graphics driver too, and store it on the USB or the other computer.
Disconnect your main computer from the internet, and perform an offline installation. If you can, decline the offer to use a Microsoft account; if you can't, create a local account as soon as possible, and this will be the account you use rather than the original. This is to avoid OneDrive-related issues.
Once you've installed Windows, install the chipset drivers from the motherboard support page, then restart, then install the GPU driver, then restart again, then install the other drivers from the support page. Once you've done all that, you can go back online. The point is to install the drivers you want, not the ones Microsoft provides. You'll probably still get some Windows updates, but that's fine.
When you're done, shut down and add back the other drives if you took them out.
Optimizing your storage is really about the system that works for you. The "best" way is the way that makes sense to you and doesn't take too much extra work. The one thing I would avoid is partitioning the new drive. There are legitimate reasons to do it, but you also lose some space, and you'd need to be careful about what goes where, not just files but default folders. It's easier for regular users to keep most data on the one main drive, or perhaps two, than to redirect folders and the like.
