Having WIndows 10 and Linux

[Murissa]

Hey guys,

 

I am building a new computer and I plan on buying a 3TB HDD, however someone suggest I install my OS on a SSD.

 

So would it be a good idea to run my Windows 10 Pro from an SSD drive? Would it also be a good idea to run Linux on that exact SSD drive or the HDD?

Yes. You will see a great spped improvement if you install Win10 on an SSD (125 or 250Gb is fine, so you can install a few applications too). And I believe that the same can be said for Linux.

So I have Linux and Windows 10 Pro on the same SSD, alternating between one and the other when necessary?

Yeah. You can have a dual boot system on the SSD. Then you can use the rest of the space on the SSD for big applications (or apps that you use the most), and use the HDD for data files (music, videos, etc) and other apps.
