If you plan on using Windows 10 for any length of time, with backups, 240G is about right (a little small) 120G would certainly be minimal, (need to be set for daily defrag) I won't install Windows 10 pro on anything smaller than a 500G HDD in the shop. I'd put LL on the last partition of the HDD (150G is much more than enough)) not the SSD and if your RAM exceeds 4G definitely use a swap file (default) not a swap partition. Swap is not particularly important for LL if you have 8G of RAM or more. Backup is important for Windows 10, as its OEM partitioning scheme. To give you some perspective, my biggest Debian system with everything imaginable including two other virtual Linux systems and a backup Apache web server is only about 35G on the disk. LL will probably not grow beyond 10G with everyday use. Your Windows 10 system will certainly grow to at least 150G over time and backups accordingly with it. The SSD / HDD speed difference matters more to Windows than LL. Just my opinion here, but it is a new machine with an OEM Windows 10 installation that you indicate you intend to use. I have a brand new Windows 10 Pro HP i7 with 16G RAM and a 1T SSD and a 1T HDD with high end accounting software on it. My five year old AMD 1.5T HDD with 8G RAM runs Debian twice as fast or more as Windows on that new machine. It's best to nursemaid your Windows system, and just expect your LL system to do what you want and do it faster.
