I might be building a PC for someone. Is it best to have a dedicated drive solely for OS, with another drive for games. Or a single NVME, and either partition a ??GB partition for Windows and the rest for games. Or just have one partition for games and windows.
I'm thinking to save money create a smallish partition on a 2TB/4TB NVME for Windows, what size would you recommend? Then if he/I ever need to do a fresh OS install it'll leave his >3.5TB partition alone.
Personally I like having a dedicated drive, but I usually have enough spare drives, ie I used a 64GB SSD for a while even with Windows 10 as it's small enough not to start to get lazy with cluttering it up etc, and secondary drives for data.
What do you do?
