Partition size for Home Prem.

[Jomama46]

If I set up the OS on its own partition and put programs and data on their own partitions, how big do you think the partition should be.
I know that some programs will install on the OS drive anyway and we have to allow for updates that will grow the partition too. This new system will have a 320GB drive.

System Requirements.

Minimum Processor Speed 1 GHz processor
Memory Required 1 GB of system memory
HardDisk Required 40GB hard drive with at least 15GB of available space
Display Support for DirectX 9 graphics with:
• WDDM Driver
• 128 MB of graphics memory (minimum)
• Pixel Shader 2.0 in hardware
• 32 bits per pixel


You can ignore the 40GB partition size if you like, but anything much smaller will remove any later option to upgrade Home Premium to Ultimate or Business, a requirement being for 15GB of free space for the upgrade option to be available.
