I cannot comment on how this will run under current Windows versions but you should not hesitate to install it on a regular HD. I used to run CS2 (or perhaps a slightly older version) on an old Toshiba laptop with a Pentium I processor and that worked just fine. With Photoshop, I think it is more the location and size of your scratch disk (temporary files) that determine speed but even without using a SSD for this purpose, current components should easily cope with its requirements I expect.
