    Windows 7 + Drivers 27GB?

    Okey, so i just got my SSD and installed my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and the drivers. And it's at mindblowing 27gb? Is this right? I thought it would be alot less

    Disabled the Hibernate feature wich put me at 21.3 GB

    Halp?!

    Ultimate is always going to be big, as it has multiple languages.

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

    And that's without any updates - languages are installed only on demand from Windows Update.

    Change pagefile smaller, depending on how much RAM you have. With 4GB you could set both minimum-maximum to 2GB, and with more RAM set min-max to 512MB.
    Never going to log into this garbage forum again as long as calling obvious troll obvious troll is the easiest way to get banned.
    Trolling should be.

    Umm, he meant disk usage, not maximum RAM capability.

    Part of this is due to Windows 7 caching copies of all the different versions of ddls and such used by different programs. And it keeps these around, linked around so it can run programs with fewer issues supposedly. So the folder does tend to grow over time, even if you don't install anything else to that particular drive. Also selecting the windows folder itself and looking at the space used is sometimes a bit off due to all the linking. You need to look at the drive itself to see the correct free space.

    EDIT: My windows folder only takes up 14GB, x64 Ultimate as well.

    My Win 7 64 partition is only 12GB. No hibernation, no pagefile, no safety restore function.

    Hehe nice one rallyho, was in a hurry so i had to type fast ^^

    Feature*

    So what your saying, is that 27GB is normal from a fresh install? With 1 user and drivers installed.

    My Windows FOLDER is at 14GB

    Get TreeSize Free http://www.jam-software.com/freeware/ and scan the partition to find what is taking space outside of the Windows folder.
