Is 32gb ssd enough for windows 10 and google chrome?

[NotIrishMichael]

I'm slowely but surely getting money together and upgrading my pc. starting with the cpu cooler hyper evo 212 than the case i wanted. And now waiting for a 750w psu and 8gb of ram. before i go ahead and upgrade the gpu. Whilist looking for used parts i found that a person is selling a 32gb sandisc ssd for 15euro which is crazy cheap compared to 128gb ssd.

So i wanted to know will 32gb be enough to store windows 10 and google chrome ?? or at worst the windows itself. As currently i have 81gb on my C drive which is for windows and a couple of other things only no games.

Why would you go for a 750W PSU??

I don't know about win10 but for Win7 it's not enough

With 32GB of storage space you'll be constantly fighting for free space.
There are going to be problems with installation of windows updates.
Better go with at least 64GB.

32GB? No.
64GB? Barely.
120GB will work, but the price vs size highly leans towards a 250GB drive.

I have an Asus Transformer with a 32GB drive and Win 10.
It only survives because it is only a travel device, with nothing really installed on it, and anything but the OS lives on the 64GB microSD card.
But even with extreme diligence, it is too small. For instance, it wouldn't even run the 1607 Anniversary update, because there was not enough free space on the C drive.


A used 32GB drive? Only if it were free.

32GB might be enough but you'd be cutting it extremely close, just save up for 120gb ssd. That 750w psu is a bit overkill though honestly you should of got 500w.

Windows needs a lot of space since it's constantly having to move stuff around. The lack of space will give you worse performance than with the hard drive you have now.

the 750w psu is only 90euro while similar quality and power psu in stores around me and online are at least 110euro.

Also i only plan to put windows on it and nothing else for faster boot times ...

32gb is sweet although the updates etc apps all take memory so do upgrade to a 120 or even 250gb
