Here are the system requirements for Windows 10 (and what your options are if your PC doesn’t meet them): Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or SoC.
RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) for a 32-bit version, or 2GB for 64-bit.
Hard disk space: 16GB for a 32-bit OS; 20GB for 64-bit OS.
How much space does Windows 10 take up?
Windows 10’s minimum requirements are pretty much the same as Windows 7 and 8: A 1GHz processor, 1GB of RAM (2GB for the 64-bit version) and around 20GB of free space. If you’ve bought a new computer in the last decade, it should match those specs. The main thing you might have to worry about is clearing up disk space.

How much space does Windows 10 take on a SSD?
The base install of Win 10 will be around 20GB. And then you run all the current and future updates. An SSD needs 15-20% free space, so for a 128GB drive, you really only have 85GB space you can actually use. And if you try to keep it “windows only” you’re throwing away 1/2 the functionality of the SSD.
