What Size Partition Do I Need for Windows 10?
Contents

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.

Is 50Gb partition enough for Windows 10?

It will work and 50Gb is enough for it but you will have to do some maintenance once in a while because a lot of apps just plaster files onto your C drive no matter what you tell them. The 20% is for the whole drive and most drives keep this amount unavailable to you anyway.

What partition should I install Windows 10 on?

As the guys explained, the most appropriate partition would be the unallocated one as the installed would make a partition there and the space is enough for the OS to be installed there. However, as Andre pointed out, if you can you should delete all current partitions and let the installer format the drive properly.
