Sean's Windows 7 Install & Optimization Guide for SSDs & HDDs

Came across this guide.

Actually got many things to prep & consider :s22:

I am intending to pre-partition the SSD into 2 partitions first before installing Win 7.
Is the following steps by "Sean's Windows 7 Install & Optimization Guide" still similar or applicable in this case?

Booting and partitioning of Windows 7 without the System Reserve Partition:

Boot from your Windows 7 installation media. (If you have a UEFI option to boot, do not select it, select the non-UEFI option for your boot media.)
After booting you see the Install Windows 7 screen, press Shift + F10 to open a command prompt.
At the command prompt, type Diskpart, press Enter.
Type List Disk, press Enter.
Type Select Disk # (where # is the number your drive shows up as), press Enter.
Type Clean, press Enter.
Type Create Partition Primary Align=1024, press Enter.<<Is this part still the same if i have 2 partition in the SSD? Or is this part applicable if i have 2 partition in the SSD?
Type Format Quick FS=NTFS, press Enter.
Type Exit, press Enter.
Close the Command Prompt window.
Click the "Next" button.
Click the "Install now" button.
Accept the terms and click the "Next" button.
Choose "Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)."
Click the partition.
Click the "Next" button.
From then on follow the on screen instructions till you get to the desktop.
