I believe it's correct. Just to confirm, you're dual booting Windows 10 and 7 on the same SSD, and you've checked that a 52 GB storage is sufficient. You mentioned using a 120 GB SSD with a 2 TB HDD for games—want to verify if that works? Also, here are the system requirements links you shared: [Windows 10 Specifications](https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/...ifications) and [Windows 7 System Requirements](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help...quirements).

You'll need additional resources beyond what's mentioned. A dedicated bootloader such as rEFInd is recommended for a smoother startup experience, avoiding the constant need to press BIOS F12 each time you switch OS. This setup should stay under 100 MB total. Once that's done, consider dividing the drive into two similar-sized partitions (or a 60:40 split for Windows 10 and Windows 7 based on your requirements). Each partition will host one operating system. Finally, install both OSes onto their respective partitions to achieve dual boot functionality.

I understand you're looking for the storage size information.
