Hi,
I got a Octane lll which is fully loaded well almost.
I have attached screen shots of my build of hardware and my disk management window.
My main disk is disk 0 with Win 10 Pro installed and disk 1 is where all my games are installed on.
Disk 0 is SSD and Disk 1 is normal.
I would like to install a Linux OS on Disk 0 by shrinking it down so Linux has 100GB but I am not sure if it will effect the SSD drive ? "I mean like using swap on a SSD drive will kill it quickly"
Also there are already many partitions on Disk 0 now and with newer versions of windows unlike older versions and I remember there was something about a max of 4 partitions back in the beginning of Win 7 days when I last use to dual boot win and Linux.
I have understood with win 8 and 10 we need to have UFEI or something activated which my bois already has so I hope someone kind enough to dumb a clarification down for me ?
I have a usb thumb drive ready with Ubuntu 17 on it ready to be installed.
