What I mean is having my OS, the way I'd normally run it, minus the programs and stuff because I'm putting that on my 3 TB HDD. I don't mean shrinking anything but I certainly don't mean putting all my apps on there too though. How many applications is "All applications" and how minimal is the "minimal page file"? (I don't mean these questions to sound sarcastic by the way, they are serious questions and I'm glad you are responding)Īgain all I want (NOT documents, etc) is the Windows OS's partition but stable. If you want space that the OS can actually make use of.you want more. You can squeeze a brand new Win 10 install, with no applications, into a 32GB space. This is discounting the space that the pending Win 10 Upgrade takes.Īll I'm saying is.what do you want to use that space for? If all it has was the 32GB drive.I'd be screwed.ģ year old Win 8.1 Pro, 16GB RAM, minimal page file, no hibernation file, all applications besides games.Approx 90GB used. Win 10 32bit, 2GB RAM.It is right in the edge of being unusable.Īnd I have the Doc/Download/Music/etc directed to the 64GB SD card that plugs in the side. The OS and a very few tiny applications installed. I have a 2 month old Asus Transformer, with a 32GB drive. Okay wait so what else is there to a Windows install then? because I'm looking at it in WinDirStat and actually yeah, it does seem to be just what lives in Users (Appdata is part of Users, or at least on my laptop), Windows, & Pagefile/Hiberfil. Of course, 6GB of that is taken up by the pending Win 10 Upgrade. 32GB drive, but a 64GB SD where actual data lives.Ī system that is actually used day to day? 80GB might work.

AppData/, /Users/, /Temp/, etc, etc, etc.Ī carefully managed Windows 10 32bit system, with a teeny bit of RAM, with almost no applications installed and little use.can work in a 32GB drive. A Windows install is not just what lives in C:/Windows/
