1st diagram: 1..h4 threatning 2..Rd1 and 3..Rh1#; white has no available option to stop that without droping his knight (2.Nc3 Rxc3; 3. Rxg5+ and 4. Rg1); even so, white has to give up

2nd diagram:
1. Qxd7+! Kxd7
2. b8N+ Kc8
3. Nxa6 Kb7
4. Nxc5! (thus opening the "d" file) and it is a won game
You found the solution for diagram 2.
I would add that besides 4..dc5, Black could try 4..Kxc5, but then simply 5 Kg4 and the king's ending is easily won.
But what about position #1 ?
I though I started with the easiest one of the two..

You got it !
on 2 Nc6 !? 2..d5! wins but 2..Rd1 would not do the job : 3 Rg5+ and 4 Rg1.
