I have a 1TB HDD that I've been using forever with Win10 and an unused 250GB SSD.
I want to take advantage of my SSD for my OS and very select few (maybe 2 or 3) games. Everything else I can live with HDD speeds for.
How should I go about setting this all up? I can only think of a couple options, but I haven't used SSDs before.

- Use SSD as main (install Win10) and HDD as storage. Installing the OS on the SSD and getting it running like a fresh install is no problem, but how would I be able to use everything that's on the HDD?
- Continue using HDD as main drive and install games on SSD. Seems too simple to work. I won't get better OS speeds obviously, but what about games?
- I've heard recommendations to partition part of the SSD JUST for the the OS, then load other stuff on the remaining partition What's the benefit of this, rather than just installing everything I want on the SSD? I can always reinstall games, so not worried about losing anything permanently if the drive crashes. Would the loss of the SSD affect anything on the HDD though?
- Does having an OS on each drive cause issues?
