Currently my virtual machine with Windows 10 takes 11GB. So if Microsoft won't have minimal space requirements during installation, you should be fine.

I am sorry for my english.

It should be enough, but OP will be struggling for free space.

When you start installing programs that have to be on C:\, it won't be enough

Yes it will be :) I believe its just 8GB for JUST windows

 

Heres what I found on Microsofts website for Windows 7 I believe Windows 10 is even less space

 

If you want to run Windows 7 on your PC, here's what it takes:

 

  • 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor

  • 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

  • 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

  • DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

CPU: Intel i5 4690k @ 4.3 GHz       GPU: MSI GTX 980                      Cooling: be quiet! Pure Rock                     OS: Windows 7            Monitor: BenQ XL2411Z

Motherboard: AsRock Z97 PRO4   PSU: Corsair 600W CX600M       Keyboard: Razer BlackWidow Ultimate   SSD: Intel 120GB 520   Headset: HyperX Cloud II
