Hi, I am new here and I will be asking a series of questions in order to complete a major (re)build of my main rig.
I currently have 3 SSDs and I want to use one for a boot drive and one for a possible program/game drive. The 2 larger drives are a Samsung Evo 256 and a Samsung Pro 512. The smaller drive is a Samsung 128 Evo- which may be dead/dying and I will ask about it in detail in another thread soon.
For the boot drive in another thread I will ask more about setting up multiple OSes. However, it seems rather wasteful to have to install the same programs and games repeatedly- especially ones that are space-hogs.
Granted, Since I want to install multiple versions of Windows and a version of Linux or two some programs won't work on all versions. I get that. However, most do work across many versions and most allow installation choices rather than just "C" drive.
Therefore, based on those criteria, can it be done? Should it be done? Are there any last minute tips and tricks?
Thanks in advance for any answers!
