Boot Drive

[Bloody oath]

Can I store games on a Windows 10 boot drive? I have always had a small SSD dedicated to being a boot drive and now I need a new boot drive for a friends computer. Can I store games and such on an SSD that has the OS on it as well or do I have to get another SSD?

As long as you don't fill it up too much it should be alright.

Yes you can, but be cautioned that doing so could use up valuable space needed for windows updates and such.

Would this be a good boot drive?

Gonna leave that for someone else to answer because I do not have any experience with M.2

That boot drive will be fine. Keep in mind that not all m.2s are NVMe. That particular one is only Sata 3 so you dont get the speed increase, only get the no cables hassle free from a normal SSD.
