How should I make two partitions with the Win 10 installer pendrive?
Hi all,
I plan to buy a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD, and I want to make two partitions on it at the drive selection screen of the OS installer like this:
D: round 800,0GB
C: full size which remains after the OS related (EFI-system, Recovery, MSR) partitions created (~130GB according to the 931,51GB usable space of the 1TB drive)
I have found a >>video<<, which suggests the following steps:
1. "New" - size: 134666MB (131,51GB) - "Apply"
Then the 3 OS related (EFI-system, Recovery, MSR), 1 Primary and a round 800GB unallocated partition will be created.
2. Click on the unallocated partition - "New" - size: full size that the installer offers - "Apply"
3. Format the bigger primary partition (I think it's optional, and can be done after OS installation via Disk Management)
4. Click on the smaller primary partition - "Next"
It seems to be absolutely fine for me, but on the msi forum, a comprehent member said and suggested the following:
"It is recommended to have "personal" partitions after the boot loader, you have to create it at the "end" of the drive (I known it is not physical end because it is a SSD, only logical).
That is why I suggested:
1. "New" - size: 134666MB (131,51GB) - "Apply"
Then the 3 OS related (EFI-system, Recovery, MSR), 1 Primary and a round 800GB unallocated partition will be created.
2. Click on the unallocated partition - "New" - size: full size that the installer offers - "Apply"
3. Click on the smaller primary partition - "Delete"
Then this partition will be unallocated.
4. Click on the smaller primary partition again - "Next"
Doing that, installer will create all required partitions for OS in the 1rst part of the SSD."
Which method should I do to make the best optimal way?
Thanks,
