Hi there,
I updated from Windows 10 to Windows 11 yesterday as part of the normal Windows Update process. Everything ran smoothly and now I'm just discovering the changes etc. One thing that worries me is the size of the new OS, seeing as the free space on my C disk has been significantly reduced. From what I'd read prior to the update, Windows 11 requires 27 GB. I'd also figured that Windows 10, which had become bloated after so many updates, would have been removed and Windows 11 installed in its place. It seems that Windows 11 was installed on top of Windows 10!
Have the rest of you experienced a big drop in free space on your hard disk? Is there a way to free up some space?
