Briefly wondering how I should proceed with post-malware process

Was away from home on about a day or two trip and thought "yeah it's fine, I'll leave my PC on while I'm gone" since I was uploading some pretty hefty files and didn't have the best net.
Though thanks to my own negligence and unwise decision making, I gave my nephew permission to use my comp while I was gone and he got some pretty nasty malware on it while trying to get mods for a game, had to completely wipe my PC clean since it seemed to be an infostealer and possibly worse. Though this was strictly only on my main SSD drive.

I got mostly everything situated but was wondering if this kind of thing was able to spread to my external SSD and other drives as well. Should I be wiping those too? Or can I run an extensive FRST scan on them as well? (Heck, does a FRST scan also cover my other drives? If so then I'm probably already good, just paranoid lol)
