Install everything and save every file on the new drive.
Use old drive only when you run out of space on the new drive.

how to format old...and defragment

First backup all important files. Then attach new HDD. Then install new HDD. You can easily format the old unused partition when reinstalling windows. You don't need to defragment the old drive if it doesn't have windows.

ps- please don't blame me if you make a mistake and lose your files
