Last time I installed Debian on a Windows computer, I used W's own
Disk Manager to defragment, optimise, and shrink the main Windows
partition, which meant it was at the /start/ of the free space.
(W's DM for peace of mind of the system's owner.)

I may be repeating this fairly soon, and am interested about the
difference between W at the start and W at the end of the drive,
particular now it's solid state rather than a spinning disc.

Yes, I'm used to Microsoft first, then Debian. In the days of MSDOS,
this was essential on some of my disks, because DOS had to choose its
preferred disk geometry, or it wouldn't work at all.

Cheers,
