Hey there JoshPC,
 
The OS usually takes up around 35GB-40GB with the updates and drivers so you should be fine. I'd check the SSD if it needs 10%-12% of free space in order to operate at optimal speeds due to the caching. Older SSD models to have this requirement while the newer ones - no so much. :)

Would an 80gb SSD be enough for windows 10 and some small apps like chrome?

Where'd you find a 80gb SSD? Most are at least 120gb

Sure. No gaming or movie downloading though.

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

i use a 64gb SSD for my windows and commonly used programs such as nvidia experience and MSI afterburner for example, works like a charm:

I'm going for an 120gb one because it's only $10 more
