Hi, what is the recommended order of installing the three OS? Currently I have Windows 10 installed on a NVMe and Linux on a SATA III SSD. I may get rid of the SATA III SSD and install Linux on another new NVMe SSD. When installing Mac OS on a new 3rd SSD, should I remove those two existing SSD to avoid the possibility of messing things up?

The "sticky" guides in this forum may help you.
 
I‘m running all three on separate drives in my Mac. When I did the installs, I did remove all other drives except for the one I was installing to. I also found that windows would always fail to install if I had any other drives in when installing. So I would say, on a Hac, you’d probably be safe to do the same.
 
Actual physical removal of the existing drive(s) is not required if you can disable the port(s) it(they) is(are) attached to in the UEFI/BIOS while doing the installation on the new drive.
