Windows 10: How to wipe ssd

Hey , so i have a odd problem. Mobo: asus rog strix x570i

1-ssd m.2- OS

1-ssd 2.5 sata

1-ssd m.2

I have another identical m.2 nvme that was the boot drive from another computer, but id like to wipe it and use it as a secondary drive. My problem is that every time i put it in , my bios recognizes IT as the primary boot drive and boots from it. When i try to find my original m.2 to select as the boot, its not showing up. In fact it only shows the new ssd, and 2.5 ssd.

I cant figure out how to make my original boot drive the primary.. anyone have any insight on this?

How to safely wipe the SSD and HDD of my laptop at the same time?

You can't wipe both at the same time. It's not possible to wipe an SSD currently in use. You are going to first have to wipe the HDD and then wipe the SSD using a bootable utility. If it is a samsung SSD, the samsung magician software can do this for you. Partition Wizard can wipe your HDD for you.
