Dual boot but the os on different drives. Is it okay or would I have some booting problems?

Should the windows be on ssd and ubuntu installed on hdd? Or there will be a specific problem? Is it okay to dual boot like this?

It is better to install OSes into SSD if your SSD disk size is sufficient, because of both Windows and Ubuntu will perform better.

Use HDD as a user data storage.

But that's probably OK to use them on different drives. Only at the end of installation specify grub installation target disk you're using to install Ubuntu on.

It's not mandatory, but better in case if you'll replace your other drive in the future.

To avoid issues with booting, prepare yourself by reading guides and instructions. Make backups. Use manual disk configuration in case of Ubuntu installation.
