My laptop has no room for a second hard drive so can I make a second partition on my SSD drive just for windows so that I can boot off of it as I want a faster boot up.

No there is no basis for that belief. As long as the drive is less than say 90% full it will be fine. SSDs are not as sensitive to being filled up as mechanical hard drives, they index and locate data completely differently than a spinner drive and that's why you never defrag an SSD...no need and wears it out prematurely. If you split it into 2 partitions you have to keep both partitions less than 90% full which means you actually lose useable space.
Is your SSD not booting up fast?

The Laptop is a Pavillion 15-au062 and want to split of the SSD drive so that I can store my Data on one partition and boot off of the other wich would make the SSD boot up fast like it should other wise if I only had one SSD drive the drive it would make a slower boot with the DDS being all cluttered up with Data.
