Help with bootcamp installation dual hard drives

I want to install Windows with bootcamp on my Mid 2012 Macbook Pro running OS X El Capitan and updating to macOS Sierra when available.


I have 16GB of RAM and two Hard drives: a 250 GB SSD in the main bay and a 500 GB HDD I installed in the optical bay. I've tried this before and I know I cannot install it in the external disc, it will not allow me.


I've come up with a solution: What if I install windows on the smaller SSD in the main bay and then access the games and files stored in the larger HDD in the optical bay?


I want to know if that is possible, so if anyone can help me that would be great.

Thanks

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), 250GB SSD, 500GB HDD, 16GB of RAM
