Hello everyone!
First post here but have been using this site's extreme wealth of knowledge and reading the forums for quite some time now. This website is the greatest for a novice like me!
I have a question. I recently decided to take the plunge and get a 512GB Samsung Evo SSD. I want to do a fresh install of windows 7 onto my SSD with the Windows 7 disc (full version, not upgrade disc). My plan is to upgrade to windows 10 after install is complete.
I am just a little confused about partitioning my ssd while doing an install. I was planning to partition the ssd on a partition of around 150Gig for the OS, and using the rest of the space for my programs and a few games of mine, while using my old (mechanical) HDD as the storage for music, pictures, and other files.
The only thing is I am not sure how to partition it during the install process for windows 7. I've read other posts where people have done it after OS has been installed or where they were using a different version of windows. I'm not the most savvy with technical jargon, so i get confused pretty easily, lol. But if someone could break it down in the simplest terms, i would be so appreciative, heh.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much again!
