Windows 10: Erasing a ssd and moving it to a new computer that already has windows installed on it

I would like to move my ssd on an old laptop to a new computer that already has a ssd with windows installed. My new laptop has open slots for extra ssd storage. I don't need to save any of the files on the old ssd so i just want to erase it and put it in the new computer as a backup drive. So if i install the old ssd to the new computer with the open slot, how do i boot from the ssd on the new computer that already has windows installed.

Securely erasing old SSD - Ubuntu

Very inexperienced with Linux and have been playing around lately with Ubuntu 17.10 successfully recovering data from a bad HDD, quite impressed by it also.

First question is. I have an old OCZ Vertex 3 120GB that has been lying around forever and want to wipe it to factory settings and install Ubuntu on it (so I don't need to run Windows side by side on my current OS drive). I'm assuming the easiest way to do this is to do the following?

• Boot Ubuntu from USB installer
• Select 'Try Ubuntu before you install it'
• Open the Terminal and
• Use the Command-line to Simple Secure Erase i.e. hdparm --security-erase PASS /dev/sdX

My second question is, if the above will work do I then need to format the entire SSD in ext4 or does the installer by default format/partition the SSD when 'Erase disk and install Ubuntu' is selected?
