Many many thanks!

Better than the video I saw before on this.

Will try to keep SSD for OS, OS related software and frequent used non OS software. Other files can be kept in HHD.

25GB remain with 11GB overprovisioning enabled (^-^)

If fresh install Win 10 takes about 10-15GB only.

I think you having such big usage is either after upgrade you didn't clean up old windows file, or still have a lot garbage file from previous windows, or it include all the program files.

just to share, am using win10 in a desktop pc installed in an m.2 ssd 30gb. with minimal office productivity s/w & stuff, it's quite smooth sailing.

cheers

256GB SSD currently is sufficient with full microsoft word, VPN and download tool..
around 10 steam game still sufficient..
unless you plan to keep a lot movie/music and picture, than 1TB SSD also not enough..

all my picture are store in Icloud and my movie/music all directly stream from service provider... since we hv fast 50mbps internet now..

Thanks.

Good to know.

my experiences in SSD i changed 3rd time already.
1) in the year 2013 Kingston (SSDnow 128gb) lasted for about 2 years plus. lastly failed by can't detect at all all in suddenly. works well until the end of the day.
2) 2nd is the sandisk 120gb, this is the worst of all only 1 year then now it's not totally break down the reading speed still maintain 550mb/s but the writing speed dropped to 186mb/s. using crystal disk to test read and write.
3) 3rd just bought last week Crucial MX500 250gb 3D nand tech, test the read/write speed , read about 560mb/s write 513mb/s average. will see how long this beast can perform until then.

by the way just formatted to win 10 pro 1803 build, raw install with drivers everything included total consume about 36gb.

Gonna install this on my tablet. 32GB internal storage ain't enough for W10 Home.

Coz used oem SSD cheap, I put 256GB for Win10 pro & major app(still empty 100+GB), another 256GB for game, data, movie & music. Running 2 units SSD in my workstation.

Just wondering whether you had about 10% unused GB on your SSD. They say this will prolong the SSD life.

36 GB after Win 10 Pro? Maybe I dont really need 256 GB. 128 GB may be enough for me. Ha. But of the price difference is small, better just get the 256 GB SSD.

lol yes i was very free that day i experiment the win 10 installation. i tried fresh install the first win 10 version, after install then auto update to the latest version build, the results is occupied 46gb! and then after that i format again and fresh install, this time i straight away do fresh install latest build. the result is occupied 36gb. means if u fresh install the latest build compare to install the very older version build and then auto update to the latest version, the difference is much. and also very very waste time the auto update from old version to latest version. now i save this latest 1803 build ISO file in a bootable pendrive.

Thanks.

I got the free Win 7 to Win 10 upgrade about 2 yrs ago.

Please PM on how and where you got the Win 10 OS for the upgrade.

Need to format and reinstall Win 10 on that laptop as it is not working well now.

Thanks.

What a bad luck
Would you happen to install any 3rd party (soft/hardware) maintenance tools aside ccleaner?

Desktop- My primary samsung 128gb ssd, aged 5years+ and they running strong till date.
Laptop- Using solely samsung 128gb ssd too, aged almost 5 years for heavy programming, heavy editing (hundredth of layers), 10hours/day music streaming..more like a daily drive and it running strong till date too. Trying my best to not reaching reaching my last 20%.

Currently using Widnows 10 Home Edition with quite a numbers of games and software on a 256GB SSD plus one 1TB HDD. The SSD only 50% filled.

Good to know. Thanks.
