Windows 10 Install on Laptop with SSD and mSATA Drives

I've got a Dell Inspiron 15z 5523 that came with a 500GB HDD and 32GB mSATA drives.  I have removed the HDD and replaced it with a SSD now.  I know that the 32GB mSATA drive is sort of like a hybrid drive to make things faster.  

How should I install Windows 10 here where there's two drives?  Should I disable the mSATA drive all together now that there's a 500GB SSD onboard?

Thanks.

Since Windows 10 is long term, I suggest you invest properly in it. Ditch the tiny drive, get a good sturdy 500 GB SSD drive, install Windows 10 on that for speed to start and daily processing. Keep the hard drive for storage only.

I have a 1 TB PCI-e NVM-e SSD drive on my ThinkPad X1 Carbon and I am very pleased with it. I do not have to concern myself where to install things, I have ample space, it is an entry-level commercial drive and should last many years. It has  4-year replacement warranty on it.
Whoops! on reading again you have a 500 GB SSD drive. No need at all for the tiny drive. Everything else I wrote is correct.

I'm looking in the BIOS but I don't see how to disable the mSATA drive itself.  Should I even worry about it and just select the new SDD?
Just select the new large hard drive and install on that. I have seen many stories in here about main drives too tiny. Just use the big and forget about the smaller one. Make sure the big drive is assigned as C:

I recently bought a used laptop on eBay and it came in a similar shape as yours — a 500GB Samsung SSD and a 24GB Intel mSATA. I did a bare-metal install of W7 Pro on the SSD and am using the mSATA for temp files. It's only 24GB (in your case, 32GB) but I don't see any reason not to take advantage of it. I'm simply using it as the D drive. Regards, Joe

Thanks John for the advice.
You are very welcome and I was pleased to assist
Hmmm, you may have missed my comment a minute before John's. In any case, enjoy the mSATA as a D drive rather than as a cache for a rotating HDD — no reason not to! Regards, Joe
