So, what magicerring did they do to reduce the space requirements

>Needs 25GB just for the OS

You're living in a meme. Windows 7 on my laptop is just 23GB,
>runs faster
My 8 years old ideapad doesn't agree. It doesn't have classic theme
>more secure
integrated antivirus. this is also a reason why it isn't fast as windows 7 on old hardware.
>better built in features
*better spying, less control over your OS, muh start menu

Use a program like WinDirStat and compare

It's not that bad with 10

>>56157854
yeah the OS should fit in 256kb or it's a mess

>>56157671
Iirc they compress a lot of system files. Makes access times for those files longer, so it does slow the OS down somewhat, but with faster disks and processors these days it's not too bad. You can turn it off if you want.

Could this possibly affect battery performance?

>>56157671
W10 uses more space, actually.

And it's not faster.

Windows 10 fully updated on my tablet takes only 8GB, Win10 has fantastic compression when you install on SSDs

Yes. You'll have higher average CPU use. But it'll be negligible really, if you knock down the screen brightness a notch you'll probably see that battery use return plus some.

My Windows 7 installation is "only" 16GB tbqh family

27GB here on Win 7 64-bit with all software installed (internet, multimedia, office, protection, compression, burning, etc.)
