How many GBs is windows 10 pro?

OnionRings

Getting a new SSD and just curious how much space windows 10 pro actually takes, I used to think it was like 80GB but then I learned the " missing " size on my drive isn't what windows takes. (I used to think the missing data on drives was what your OS took lol am nub)

well assuming system&reserved is the os then it takes up around ~34GB

Weird, I googled that and that first post did not come up for me. 20GB is not bad though.

your not really allowed to do that :/,

i got a warning from a mod after suggesting  someone google the answer to their question

 

It does annoy me when people do that, especially that stupid " Let me google that for you " app, but its cool. Your answer was better I didn't even know you could check storage usage in windows 10, sweetness, I have 50GB of temp files I need to delete xD

The install ISO is only like 5GB but it expands to around 30-35GB once installed for Pro x64. For standard Windows 10 x86 they take up about 20GBs on tablets.

Its gonna be a 250GB SSD, I just wanted to see how much room would be left for games after the OS, mandatory files, other program files.

Windows itself isn't the main issue. Its all the configurations and user settings files which will be stored to OS drive.

Right well I cant see it taking more then 50GB altogether leaving 200 for other stuff, good enough for me.
