My first post here, so thanks in advance for your help!
I'm building a new computer and wanted to use solid state drives. I've got some old software that doesn't work with Windows 7, so my plan was to install WinXP. I've read that WinXP doesn't play well with SSDs, so my new plan was to install Windows 7 and virtual WinXP inside of that.
I've heard that virtual WinXP may not work well with a SSD either, so I've ordered a mechanical drive for the operating system(s). I still want to use the SSDs for data storage. Will this work, or do all my drives have to be the same type?
