First of all, there is no picture in your post. That makes it difficult to comment. To publish a picture upload it to your favorite photosharing site and link to it.
Second, 30 GB isn't enough for Windows, it tends to grow during use. I'd allocate at least 60 GB for the c:\drive and keep your clones at a USB-stick (a 64 GB USB-stick is just nice, preferably USB3 because of its speed) and an external hard disk.
To install: just wipe everything and allocate that 60 GB partition during the installation of Windows 10. Then when that is up and running, use disk management to turn the unallocated remainder of the disk to a second partition. Then move the My Pictures, My Documents and such of all users to that new partition.
Reinstalling Windows 10 from a disk or USB stick this way can be done without license and activation issues after a succesfull (free) upgrade from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1.
And be sure not to give admin capabilities to your kids (and to your wife if you don't trust her in this respect). If they aren't administrator they can do much less harm.

My apologies if this a silly question - but that's why I'm asking for help...
- also, i am in Madrid, Spain. Thank you all for the fantastic website/forum - it's better than anything we have over here...!!
I'm setting up a new hd on Win10 / my first time / I decided to partition 240 gb into 3 (30-30-180 or so)
C: is my current OS
T: is a clone/backup of a fresh/clean OS
X: is bulk storage
again, this is my first time doing this / if you have any suggestions on strategy or how to better do this, please weigh in - I have a wife and 2 small kids who often cause my OS problems (virus/malware, whatever, etc) so I was thinking that I could clone the current OS in it's "virgin" state, so that WHEN the kids foul up the working OS, I can simply replace it with the virgin version... (I also have this "virgin version" backed up on an external drive)
ISSUE: Please kindly have a look at my screen shot - 2 things jump out at me, that suggest I've made a mistake....
1.
my drives are yellow, as opposed to blue or black... they don't look right to me.... is that a problem? Should I / How do I correct this?
2.
My X: drive looks to be split into to 2 parts... Should this be done differently? How can I get them back into 1 piece?
Again - thank you very much...
