I have installed Cinamon Mint on a ssd on my laptop, but currently run
ubuntu on my desktop.

A few years ago, I moved my ubuntu /home folder to a partiton on a 2nd
hard drive.
I would like to install the ssd with Mint on to my desktop and use that
in place of ubuntu. My question then is how do I point it to the /home
folder on the 2nd drive.

A web search will give details.

You might start here: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=251509

However, I left my /home on the SSD for speed of accessing
configurations but symlinked to the storage folders on the 2nd disk
(Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures etc.)

I created a partition on the SSD. Since this was a fresh install on a
new* machine, I partitioned before installing linux, and let the system
worry about mounting.

* new to me, after a new machine out of warranty failed and no one could
fix it, I now purchase refurbs. It's cheaper than fixing and good enough
for me.

I'm in the same position, content that if my Dell Optiplex 7010 fails I
can replace it for £100 or so.

Thanks , but in case I wasn't clear enough, my /home folder is already
on a 2nd drive. I moved it to that a while ago when I used ubuntu.
I have now switched to Mint, and I mounted the /home folder on the said
drive in the fstab file, and lo and behold all my folders and files were
showing in Mint

I was hoping that it could be done during the install process under
'something else' but I couldn't see how or where I could do it.

Thanks anyway

As I remember (and my memory isn't what it used to be), you tell the
install where home directory is during "install something else". This has
the advantage you don't have to mess with fstab to mount the thing.
When all is well, the system will mount as 'home' under root, so you
don't get to see what is mounted unless you use gparted or similar.
