You can reduce Windows size by using a lightweight version and minimizing installed apps. Downloading a stripped-down edition is a good idea. Also, consider shrinking the desktop and background apps to free up space.
Avoid downloading a reduced version; stick to the official verified installation source. The most effective approach is to perform Disk Cleanup frequently and turn on System Compression. Ensure you're using Windows 10, as it consumes far less storage compared to older versions like 7.
Approximately 10 GB of space, but it's secure to split it into 20 GB, since it will increase in size with more OS usage.
Run tested on a virtual machine with just 10 gigabytes. However, that's the lowest requirement; I recommend allocating a 60GB partition.
