I'm having two SSD drives in my machine (let's call them SSD A and SSD B)

I run Win 8.1 on SSD A, SSD B is empty.

From the view of Win 8.1 SSD A has the drive letter C, and SSD B has the drive letter D.

Is it possible to install Win 10 on SSD B AND make SSD B appear as C, SSD A as D whenever I run Win 10? If yes, how? If no, why not? Are drive letters not a Win-only concept?

  • The online [booted to] Windows install will always mount to C:, as it's hard coded into Windows

Yes, it's possible, if you use generic Windows Setup or using any install tools. Using Windows Setup will automatically set the destination drive letter, always C. And SSD A is always show as D when boot into SSD B.

No, drive letters not a Win-only concept. Drive letters in Windows are inherited from DOS.
