Installing programs on Window 8 OS

[pm8546]

I am running Windows 8 on my ASUS G750JX with my OS on a 256 gb SSD. Oviously I want that space for the operating system with some essential programs (photoshop, Lr5, Walcom tablet).
Window 8 partitions the SSD with the OS on partition C that has 45gb remaining and partition D that has a total of 145 gb.

On what partition do I install photoshop and Lr5 on?, C where the OS is installed or on D or dose it matter?

Thanks for your help...

As your SSD's main benefit is access times, it won't matter too much which partition you install Photoshop and Lightroom to, but it makes sense to leave C free for Windows updates etcetera. Ensure your Libraries are located on the HDD, but I would create a folder on 'D' for material that you will be working on, using the HDD for final storage.
