Help/Support Help Windows 7 Installation on low space

Discotique · May 8, 2015

Hello fellas, im gonna ask about win 7 installation.. even though i know that this is iOS forum, but i don't know here to ask.. ;(

I want to ask last night i try to bootcamp my mac to install win 7.

my free hard disk was 30gb, then i allocate 15 for my mac and 15 gb for my win 7 bootcamp.

and after the installation succeed, i figure it out that i need more hard disk space.

then i delete my mac files so i freed up to 30gb for my bootcamp and 18gb for my mac.. so its about 18gb after i delete my mac files.

i tried to install the win 7 again, and this time i hope after i give it 30gb i was hoping that the bootcamp free space will about 15-20 gb.. but in fact, the space for my :C is 25 and gave a free space 5gb..

I'm confused, when i install win 7 on 15gb space, the system files 10gb and gave me free space 5gb.. after i install it on 30gb, the system folder in bootcamp also increasing and gave me 5gb also..

15gb install = 5gb free space

30gb install = 5,7gb free space..

any one know why this happen?

thank you!

I've noticed this also. It's probably windows adjusting itself to fit properly on the hard drive.

Either that or Bootcamp is doing something.

The recommended free disk space size for Windows 7:

x32 = 16GB

x64 = 20GB
