Hi all,

I'm going to install Win 10 in a VM under Linux. Microsoft claims that you need 32GB of disk space but of course Windows is renowned for chewing resources. Can anyone tell me how much space is really required for the OS and a reasonable suite of apps while allowing space for updates? If your experience is in a VM so much the better! User files will not be located in the VM; they are in another partition and will be mounted as a drive. [BTW I know I could dynamically allocate the disk space but that risks letting the disk image bloat until it fills the partition - and I need space for other files.]

Thanks
David
