Windows 10: New Dual Drive System

Hi. I just bought a new system with a 512G Boot Drive and a 1T HDD. This is the first time I've had a dual drive so I've never paid much attention to what's going where. Is the 512G SSD just big enough for Windows stuff, or does that leave enough room to add other things? If so, how much room can I use, and what sort of other things should I put on the SSD? Any and all comments and suggestions wil be appreciated. Thanks.

HOW TO INSTALL DUAL BOOT 10/7 SYSTEM ON NVMe DRIVE WITH 10 FIRST?

IMO, The easiest way to get this done without using tedious dism command with different options or .cmd scripts.

First, download: Release DISM GUI 4.0 . mikecel79/DISMGUI . GitHub

Since I like to do everything from desktop. Make it easier to clean up after I am done.

1. Copy install.wim from Windows 7 ISO to desktop
2. Create a new folder on desktop called: mount
3. Run the program As Administrator. The program from the link above can do lots of things but we only concentrate on the first 2 tabs to add the required Drivers.

NOTE: If have a need to inject drivers to boot.wim then repeat the steps with boot.wim

See screenshots and follow the steps:

 

Dual Booting with Windows 8.1


The procedure below will allow you to boot Windows separately or in dual boot configuration.
Here's what I recommend to do:

1. Disconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
2. Install Windows 10 with one drive connected.
3. After step 2, reconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
4. Boot up Windows 8.1. Open disk management and take a note of the drive letter of Windows 10 OS.
   NOTE: if you boot up Windows 10, then take a note of Windows 8.1 drive letter
5. Open Admin command prompt and type: bcdboot X:\windows where X: is the drive letter of Windows 10 (Windows 8.1 if you boot from Windows 10 in step 4)
6. Reboot the PC. You should have a dual boot screen.

NOTE: To break off the dual boot setting, Win+R->msconfig->boot and delete the none default entry on the list.
