Partitioning boot drive?

[Flossman]

i have a 120gb ssd that I will use as a boot drive, as well storing programs.
When I install windows, should I partition space (maybe 40gb) for my OS and use the rest for programs, or should I keep the whole drive as one and install the OS and programs as one?

Thanks

I'd not partition it at all, since in time the size of the windows folder will grow quite a bit, also you don't gain anything by partitioning it, since if you format the windows partition you'll have to reinstall programs aswell.
