I'm getting a new laptop with two SSD's:
  • 500 GB for OS (Win10) and software (games, antivirus, image/video editing software)
  • 1TB for (lots) of personal data, like music, pics, videos
Should I make two partitions on the 500GB SSD, one just for the OS, and the other for the rest of the software ? Or should I just install everything in one partition ?

the only thing the partition would "help" would be in organizing. aside from that its really pointless doing a partition in a drive.
