This isn't a very clear cut choice. You have many things to consider. Is it worth the time and effort to reinstall windows on the new drive? Do you have lots of documents or little tweaks that you have performed to make Windows run like you want? Is the drive faster than your old drive? Do you plan to just use it as a documents folder and backup?
To answer your question, you don't have to install Windows to use the drive as added space. But if the new drive is better than your old one, start backing up your important files, write down what settings you have changed, and reinstall Windows with the new drive set as Master.
hope this helps.
