After applying all the updates (Vista + SP1 + SP2) on a 60GB drive, I notice only 15GB remains free. Adding an 8GB game and some small files brings it down to just 6GB on the other side. When switching to a 20GB partition and installing Ubuntu 14.04, I still have more space than Vista—maybe it’s just my system. It’s really surprising how much memory Windows uses these days; with 60GB you can run a game using DX11 (wow!) and Linux for everything else, leaving plenty of free space (I really like Ubuntu). :wub:

You're installing Vista to enhance your system's performance, security, or compatibility with specific software and applications.

The device includes Vista (which means it's free), and the updates provide DX11 support.

I realize you might have installed Windows Vista by accident.

Sure, I remember when I first got Vista Fresh five years back—it used up about 50 gigabytes of space.

Yeah :lol: I’m still shocked I can only set up one game, even though it felt like a truck hit me. I thought there’d be room for at least four games in the 60GB space, but it’s not working like I expected.

The Windows 8.1 setup seems simple, but it's hard to remember since I've added lots of software.
