Question is in bold at the bottom. Just ignore other text 
I am using a 500 GB - 4 year old Seagate SATA HDD, and I a have a feel that its a bit slow after my recent PC upgrade , which gave my PC the power to play GTA V in high setting!! (RAM+GPU+CPU+PSU upgrade).
I could add a HDD, but it will be pretty awesome if I could add a 256 GB SSD instead !! I have some 256 GB Samsung/Intel drives in my wishlist, most SSDs will be OK because my motherboard only have SATA II port.
No more than 256 GB, wont fit in my pocket for now.
So the idea is to make 256 GB as C: drive or boot drive for windows 10, Applications and Games.
The 500 GB HDD for media storage.
I have a tendency to test new things , always update apps and try new ones.
So if anything goes wrong with my tests in C: Drive ... I will have to format it and reinstall the OS.
Actually it happened few times, not recently.
If there is any media files probably I wont be able to backup them all , and will have to delete most of them...
So , should I partition my 256 GB SSD ? so that just in case I have to reinstall windows , it will be easy without taking backup of all files...
100 GB for C: and 120GB+ for D: ?

artitioning a drive, changing some system configuration setting, etc., etc., you first clone the contents of the drive you plan to change. Then should you find whatever changes you made unsatisfactory you still have your original drive with all your original files, configurations, etc. intact so that you have a bootable functional system right at hand.
