Windows 10 version 1903 - at least 32 GB of disk space

Microsoft has changed the storage requirements for operating system installation.

Now, in Windows 10, starting with version 1903 (this update is expected in May 2019), the minimum amount of free disk space required for the operation of the operating system is 32 GB for 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

Thus, Microsoft’s “Reserved Storage” of 7 GB is only the tip of the new operational-demanding iceberg.

Link to the document " Minimum hardware requirements " from Microsoft.

Section " Storage device size ".

Throughout this specification, all requirements for Windows 10 for desktop editions also apply to Windows 10 Enterprise .

Last year (Windows 10 version 1809 and earlier) there was a sufficient minimum of 16 GB of disk space for 32-bit Windows 10 and 20 GB for 64-bit Windows 10.

Although the basic requirements have already been more excessive demands on disk space



Thus, in Windows 10 May 2019 Update, there will be changes in the basic requirements for installing Windows 10 in the same way.



Microsoft has not yet commented on this change in the minimum size of the drive to 32 GB.

Although many users complained that even 32 GB is not enough for the normal operation of the Windows 10 operating system, version 1809, so we still expect new standards for system requirements after the release of Windows 10 May 2019 Update (1903).

So, with the release of the new version of the W10 and buy a new PC - this will be a tip from Microsoft.
