Hi Guys,
Just installed Win 11 (as a virtual machine - real PC coming up soon!) and despite one of the requirements being 64GB of free-space, after install (before any cleaning-up or housekeeping), it's only used 18.5GB.
If I recall correctly, a clean Windows 10 install is not much less that that (around 17GB?).
Why such a large free disk-space requirement then?
I'm quite miserly when it comes to the size of my system partition - all of my current systems have a 40GB install partition and none of them have ever been more than 60% full even after installing all apps and regular updates.
Has anyone else tried installing with a less free space on the install partition?
Cheers,
Mike.
P.S. I must say I really like the initial 'look-and-feel' of Windows 11...
