the majority of my friend said if you want to install windows ..
you have to have a small hard drive for windows and another large one for software and games ..
I JUST WANT TO KNOW THAT IS TRUE OR NOT.

HELP ME..

Not really, no. Just make backups occasionally and you'll be fine. Most laptops only have one storage device, having a single storage device is not an issue.

No. That is not true.

What they may mean is that many find it optimal to use a smaller (affordable) SSD for the OS and some key applications, like games, for speed and use a larger HDD for files/documents and the majority of other programs.
