Typically with an SSD and HD option you want to install the OS and Apps to the SSD with files, pictures etc on the HD, ie. as a "/Data" storage (however named)

This allows the the OS and Apps make use of the additional disk read/write speeds of the SSD.

You could easily run Winders and LL on the SSD and use the HD as a file storage system, which would (should be) accessible by both OS's.
The SSD could be halved or so depending.  --- This would be the route I would go, and will focus as such...
You could do LL on the HD and Winders on the SSD - but why not let LL use the added SPEED Wink

So UEFI - There is a uefi LL build, there's a link on the downloads page and within the forums. It's "experimental" but I am running and ran other versions just fine.. https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/linux...d-test/128

When you have the laptop; you'll want to shrink the Windows partition (you may get error/message it can't be - you'll need to turn some stuff off.
Once its shrunk, boot the LL LiveUSB and start the installer.. You'll choose "Something Else"
Create a partition on the SSD that you'll use/designate for root "/" where LL is installed. (leave 1-2gb or so depending on how much ram you have for SWAP).
- I'll post a link with further instructions on the above...
Create SWAP and designate as such (there is a drop down where it can be labeled. This partitioning is gparted you've probably seen/used...
I like to but the boot loaded in the same partition (lets say sdf1 for "/" sdf2 for "swap" place bootloader on sdf)


It will format and continue with install...

Sounds harder than it is.. Smile The below link are mostly extending disks but incorporates shrinking the Windows partition
