    optimal partition win 7 pro


    Originally I was planning to install OS +Programs in one partition and personal data in the second . I am now wondering whether it make any sense at all to install the OS in one partition , programs in second and personal data in a third ? Will this slow down the computer or make the disk work harder ? tks

    Programs should be on same partition for several reasons.

    Data can safely (and wisely) be placed on a separate partition.

    No problem I know how to do it. Just wondering why the Programs and OS need to be in same partition.
