I just ordered a 250GB SSD. First time getting a SSD. Should I install my windows 10 OS on the SSD and my games like battlefield 1 and battlefield 4 on mechanical HDD ? Or should I install OS on HDD and use SSD to install only games to load faster.  Which would bring more benefits ? Battlefield 1 is about 48GB after install and BF4 premium with all DLC is 68 GB.

OS on ssd, always. Most used programs on SSD as well. Videos, pictures, and documents wont be much different on an SSD.

OS always on a SSD. Your much used games can also go on it. Things like videofiles, music and other data can go the HDD if SSD is getting full.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
