So, as a low level user/thinker, here’s my simple thoughts.Īs all know here, Windows serves millions of users of all types, on all kinds of configurations. I don’t program, and I have no interest in command line usage. So, I can’t hang with the Linux rebels and all of their lofty thoughts. I’m just an old Papa that builds his own units for editing home videos and family photos, and running other consumer-level applications. Why pay M$ to be abused and exploited.?įellows, I’m not a blisteringly smart geek like a lot of folks here. Hence, M$ has forced me to run Win 10 Ent LTSC 2016 for free. Win 10 Home users are looked down upon by M$ as deserving to be exploited as unpaid beta-testers(= like poor slaves) for her rich VIP customers. Like I said before, M$ mostly caters to rich folks like the enterprises/businesses/professionals = poor and average folks could not really run Win 10. Looks like Win 10 users will have to use an 8GB USB Flash-drive to create their 64bit Installation media. Win 10 is bloated because it is a cross-bred desktop+mobile OS, eg can cater to touchscreen, screen rotation and detachable 2-in-1 tablets.
I think the above iso file contains both the Home and Pro editions for consumers. Now You: what is a good amount of storage for Windows 10? Granted, updates are not really that enjoyable on 32 Gigabyte devices either. Updates, especially feature updates, are a big issue on low storage devices a bump by 12 or 16 Gigabytes may address some of these issues. Even low end Mini PCs or tablets come with 32 Gigabytes of storage.
Not many Windows 10 devices are sold with less than 32 Gigabytes of space in fact, I could not find any device on Amazon that has less than 32 Gigabytes of storage. It needs to be noted that tablets and 2-in-1s can run desktop mode as well, and that they are the most likely candidates when it comes to low storage.
Closing Wordsģ2 Gigabytes is not a whole lot even for low end devices. Administrators may disable reserved storage to make the storage available system wide. If a device is sold with 32 Gigabytes of storage, several of the Gigabytes are reserved by default for system updates and other system storage functions.
Windows 10 will reserve several Gigabytes of storage by default in the coming version. The requirements are designed to prevent manufacturers from making and selling devices with less than 32 Gigabytes of storage space.
