Windows 10’s footprint can be reduced by various means, including disabling hibernation, uninstalling the default apps and adjusting the virtual memory settings. While that may not seem like a lot, when using a low-end laptop with 32 GB or 64 GB memory, this represents a significant amount of storage space for the OS. Most of this 15 GB is composed of reserved and system files, whereas a space of 1 GB is taken up by the default games and apps that come pre-shipped with Windows 10.

Even so, if what you have is a Windows laptop or tablet with a low amount of storage, even a small amount of savings matters.Ĭonsider the fact that a fresh install for Windows 10 takes up storage space of about 15 GB. It is true that Windows 10 has a relatively small footprint when compared to the older versions of Windows.
