I could be wrong, but SSDs are not recommended for partitioning.
From a practical point of view, 240GB is very small and there is no point in partitioning them.
Separate partitions are needed only for those data that will remain functional after formatting and reinstalling Windows. Those. many games and programs will still have to be reinstalled and it makes no sense to put them on another partition.

Leave old habits.
The HDD was divided into partitions because the beginning of the disk was faster and because it reduced fragmentation.
Both issues are irrelevant on an SSD.
Still there it is not necessary to do defragmentation. There is also no way to recover deleted files. Still there it is impossible to use the IDE mode. Also, you can’t install XP there and you shouldn’t install Windows 7 and 8. And on new ones, NVMe, in general, only ten is possible ...
