What is a good partition size for Windows 10?
If you are installing the 32-bit version of Windows 10 you will need at least 16GB, while the 64-bit version will require 20GB of free space. On my 700GB hard drive, I allocated 100GB to Windows 10, which should give me more than enough space to play around with the operating system.
How big should my Windows partition be?
The minimum requireed partition size for Windows 7 is about 9 GB. That said, most people that I’ve seen recommend at MINIMUM 16 GB, and 30 GB for comfort. Naturally, you’ll have to install programs to your data partition if you go too small, but that’s up to you.
