Installing window onto my ssd

[joshua476]

Okay so I've got my new pc coming in a few days time and I'm manually installing windows 10 from a USB drive. I've got a 256gb ssd and a 1tb Sata. Obviously I'm aware I definitely want to install windows onto the ssd but I remember years back my friend telling me not to fill up my hard drive past say 80%. How true is this and if so does and ssd follow the same rule.

I was going to put games like battlefield on their to increase the loading time. I am a ssd Virgin so any tips on what I should/shouldn't put on there would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for your advice. I must say a lot of what you have said gas flown over my head Danny just purely because it's all alien to me but I'll look into some of the things you mentioned. I quite like fully understanding things rather than just knowing said settings make it better. That being said I'm still very grateful for your help. I definitely would not have unplugged the mechanical drive before installing windows.
