Thanks very much for the detailed explanation. It worried me the other day when I was speaking to my PC's tech support about something totally unrelated. We ended up discussing the 128GB SSD and 1 Terabyte internal HDD setup on my new Desktop PC. I was telling him that after I do my clean Windows 10 Installation which I intend to do at the weekend + having to leave 20% free space for the OS to use + the 20GB or so that the drive will need to allow Roll Back each time there is a 6 monthly Windows10 Feature Update such as the upcoming 1903 or whatever they decide to call it that it would leave very little space left on the SSD. That's when I told him I planned to keep the SSD drive just for the Windows. I explained that I would install all my games and Applications on the secondary drive D:/. He told me that I would have problems running the Games and Apps that had been installed to my D: drive after every future 6 monthly feature update pushed by Windows Update to my PC because of registry entries etc for the games that would have been written on the C:/ drive. He said the links to games etc would be broken.
He suggested the better option would be to install Windows 10, Games and all Apps to the 1 terabyte HDD and just use the SSD as the secondary drive for data to rule out any future issues. This seemed to me like a total waste of an SSD and the advice surprised me. That's what prompted me to ask for other users feedback on their experiences when Games are installed on a secondary HDD and Windows 10 is installed on the SSD
