[dba-Tech] Win10 predownloaded setup almost doubled my system disk used space...

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Shamil

As the first task, you could right-click your C drive, select Disk Clean Up, and - when ready - select Clean Up System Files.

That will probably allow you to regain several GB of disk space.

50 GB free space is enough for an update. The installer will tell you anyway before attempting the update.

However, as busy as you are now, I would postpone this for a while - except, of course, if you are missing specific features of Windows 10. It's best to have some spare time to play and tweak after the update.

Emne: [dba-Tech] Win10 predownloaded setup almost doubled my system disk used space...

 Hi All --

I'm not yet in Win10 camp, AFAIS I have got Win10 setup(?) "automagically" downloaded and it's ready to go with "Great, we'll get the upgrade started" dialog asking me to accept this setup process but I'm currently behind a mobile Internet connection so I'm keeping this Win10 setup start-up dialog idle. 
When I have checked my system disk space I was surprised its used space almost doubled from usual 100+GB to 200GB, - is it a usual story for Win10 setup files volume? 
And this my system disk is an SSD disk, which has only 256GB so I'm wondering will its currently free 50+GB volume be good enough for Win10 setup? Will here be all setup files purged after setup will complete? - I have a second 1TB HDD on the same system - is there any way to move Win10 setup there on my large HDD before I'll proceed with it?

Thank you.
