Actually win 10 iso nowadays is a single file containing all versions & will install the version according to the key entered so even if one enter home key then iso will continue installation of home version instead of giving an error.Of course Pro won't accept Home key.

Ah, I haven't tried that. I always select the version first and install the OS, drivers, everything else. Activation is my last step.
MS keeps changing their install procedure so can never be sure.In fact nowadays you can even switch among compatible versions after install by just entering the appropriate key in change key setting.

Anything above 250GB is good. Get a proper PCIe x4 TLC drive like Silicon Power P34A80 or Kingston A2000 or Samsung 960 Evo. QLC drives are okay but I won't choose them over TLC drives for similar price.

Also decide fast because ssd prices are going to increase only in this year.
Buy it asap.

I don't think you should partition a ssd. Creates unnecessary overhead for it.

Endurance for SSD is in terms of data written.
Suppose you want to transfer data from one partition to other because it doesn't have enough free space left. So, you'll end up doing additional writes on the SSD (correct me if I'm wrong) which could've been easily avoided.
^^I think modern ssd firmware & controller minimizes this to an insignificant level but one can still avoid partitions on ssd just to be "extra sure".
@toofan if there is no organizing issue you can simply use the entire drive as C drive & use library folders to organize things but if you want you can make 2 partitions,one for windows os & other for data storage.

You already have hard disks to keep non critical data and if there is need to re-install windows, you can just reset it. If still you want to format it, use a live linux usb to take data backup into hard disks.
It is easier to create & maintain images for a pure windows install C drive compared to C drive+data. It is better then to use C drive only for windows install+programs but on a 500gb ssd it is worth it only if you can at least use ~250-300GB of space(which I don't think is possible without installing some big mainstream pc games or you work with large VMs/video editing files).
