   Many thanks for all the replies :-)   
      
   I confirm I want to set it up with 1 x OS drive and a separate drive for   
   my data, e.g. documents, pictures etc. I just found it easier in Windows   
   to back up the data drive and, in the event of a problem just re-install   
   Windows and the data was still there.   
      
   It's a 250 GB SSD because I'm not sure anything smaller is available   
   nowadays!   
      
   I hope the new (to me) machine will arrive tomorrow and will have the   
   replies next to me while I install. I will let you know how it went...
