    Can I use my ssd to install windows and ubuntu

    Hi! I have an Asus fx553ve-fy443 notebook which comes with 128Gb of (i think) Sata3 SSD & 2Tb of HDD storage.
    I was wondering if 128Gb of storage is enough to install both windows & ubuntu on it. Will it be enough? I’m both a hardcore gamer and a programmer so i need both of them on the SSD.

    Also do any of you know if my laptop supports PCIe SSD or not? 'Cause if 128Gb isn’t enough i need to know what ssd types my laptop supports!

    Do you already have any operating system installed on the system if so what?

    The drive is small it would work yet would limit what you could install for both Windows and Linux.

    Now a days you have to have 30 percent of the drive available for windows to run properly plus32 GB available for Windows to update.

    Personally would suggest getting a bigger SSD.

        Then you are wanting to use just Linux for the operating system only

            You could just install Linux and let it partition the drive for you it will ask you how you want to install then just adjust the slider bar for how much space to use. Depending on the purpose of Linux would say use 16 GB to 32 GB.
