Windows 10: Windows decides to install on my HDD i was going to remove after install (just found out now)

Heyo, I installed Windows LTSC a while back and I realized bootup time was slower than my dad's pc (he has SSD only) so I checked Disk Management and turns out Windows was using the HDD during boot as well? I don't know but when I was booting up normally I heard the HDD spin during the bootup process and I suspect this is the reason why my bootups are slow? Anyway, I want to remove the 931.51GB/1TB HDD in my desktop but when I tried it windows would just say "No boot found" or something like that so I'm assuming windows put all the boot data on the HDD? I even specified to put everything on the 512GB drive during setup (THE SSD) so unplugging the HDD surely wouldn't affect anything? Is there a way to remove the 1TB drive without breaking windows?

edit: Yes, I do have the installation flash drive I used to install windows.
