so do you use the 2 SSD’s for the 2 different OS’s

Or they could be in Raid 0 for 500GBs of usable storage.

Where the fuck did you find Windows 8.1 for $25?

4

Yep. I’ve had bad luck with partitions in the past. This also keeps Windows 8.1’s bootloader from overwriting Mint’s.

/r/microsoftsoftwareswap is beautiful.
