During the installation of Windows 7, you must choose a partition on which to install the operating system. Reading Microsoft’s recommendations, you must make this partition at least 16GB in size. However, this is a minimal size and should not be used as the recommended size.
What partitions are needed for Windows 7?
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. It changes due to your needs.
In what partition should I install Windows?
By default, Windows inputs the maximum available space for the partition. I’d advise you to leave the size as-is and press “Apply“. Note: You will most likely be informed that Windows may create additional system partitions. This is normal and necessary for most windows installs, so simply press “OK”.
