Hi.
I think you may have asked a 'how long is a bit of string?' question as a lot depends on how and what the user is going to do with the program and the power of your machine.
There is a setup guide here. https://acoustica.com/mixcraft-10-manua ... ware-setup
Most daws including MixCraft will try putting everything on the C: drive including where files are saved and the vst folder.
That can all be changed in the program's settings menu if needed.
A lot I suppose depends on how you want to set Mixcraft up and the responsiveness of your computer hardware. I do a lot of video and stills photography and editing and by comparison Mixcraft is a fairly light application on my machine and compared to video editing hardly takes up any drive space.
Personally I have an internal drive dedicated to Mixcraft projects and finished renders are put onto a third drive. vsts are on the C: drive along with the sample library on a Sabrent Rocket 4.0 1TB NVMe drive for responsiveness. Equally the project drive is another internal, reasonably fast ssd. If at a later stage I find my sample library to be getting large I will transfer that to a third internal ssd and see how that goes.
The page I have directed you to mentions use within Win7 and 8 I think so probably best to give that a read.
I think if you are using an older machine your biggest problem will be one of latency if you are playing live instruments. Again look at the advice given on that webpage.
