Partitioning the SSD when installing Windows 10 is a good idea because it allows you to better manage your data on different partitions. It can also enhance the performance of the system and offer better protection for your data if the system crashes or some other errors occur.

If you are looking for a reliable and professional tool for disk and partition management, I'd like to recommend EaseUS Partition Master Professional. It has a user-friendly interface and multiple functions that can help you manage partitions and adjust storage space according to your needs.
