A clean install is always better but sometimes people do not want to reinstall everything. Did not know what category you were in.
The drive will be available for storage. In theory you could just keep your original disk running the OS and when you install new programs you could install them on the new drive with advanced install options. You could also move all of your data off the old drive to the new drive. The easiest way is to change the location of my documents to the new drive.
Just depends upon what you want to do. If you were only using the new drive I would recommended partitioning it with around 100gb for OS and programs and the other 900gb for data.
