Contents

80gb will hold windows 10 but not much more. Many things default to the C drive, and 80gb or even 120gb will fill up quickly. Do yourself a favor and buy a 240gb ssd. Samsung evo is the best and not overly expensive.

Is 80GB hard drive enough?

2GB of RAM and 80GB HDD is fine for basic Windows/Linux stuff. In fact, the 80GB is overkill unless you want to save documents or data. You can easily run Windows 7 or Windows 10 in 20GB or 40GB Going beyond that, increasing the RAM to 4GB (cheap!)

How many GB should Windows 10 take up?

A fresh install of Windows 10 takes up about 15 GB of storage space. Most of that is made up of system and reserved files while 1 GB is taken up by default apps and games that come with Windows 10.
