Comment on How to minimise the space taken up by windows partition? (dual-boot)

Even if you were running a VM, bare minimum suggested space for Windows without many apps installed is anywhere from 60GB-80GB. 100GB is really about as low as you really want to go. If you wanted a performant Virtual Machine, with ability to install other applications, you would want to give it that much space, which means it would still be taking up that much space on your drive.

I’ve found VM’s take up less space than a standard install.
My largest Windows VM is currently 73GB, and it has a bunch of stuff installed.
My smallest is 11GB, and that’s Win10Pro.
I just setup a Windows Server VM for testing, and with a base install the VM is 13GB.
