Someone at - he heard talking about Windows 7 clean install on new discs, taking 63 GB of disk space?

It must be something simple, once figure you it out!  Have had 2 calls assisted support 2 days for a few minutes each.  Guy does not seem to have a clue.

anyway... short as possible...  I built a new computer game. 3 hard drives SSD crucial m4, 1 x 128 GB, 2 x 256GB and 2 TB WD SATA III for storage.

You want to put Windows and Office, Antivirus etc. on the 128GB SSD... all games and programs on the two 256 GB SSD drives.  Requirements, I see it everywhere, including on the box... 20 GB for 64 - Bit.

I did a clean install Windows 7 home 3 times and then switch to Win7 Pro using a card key to upgrade time everything.  Fact a facility with everything configured as it was planned.  Made an installation with only the 128GB drive connected.  The two ways... Windows supports 63 GB of space when you go to 'My computer' and watch the free space.  STILL... If you go on the Windows disc and open and select all folders, files etc... including the hidden files/folders... you get a total of about 25 GB disk!  Exactly as you might expect.

Contacted Microsoft through chat... support person called... He repeated that everything I said I already tried and I even gave the data, figures and results, etc. no help.  Then he had me download an iso file and burn a bootable DVD with Windows 7 Pro on this subject.

Tried and same results.  SO now, I installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on 2 different Crucial Solid State Drives and a Western Digital 1 TB SATA drive.

Each installation takes 63 GB of disk space in 'My Computer'.

Each installation... When you navigate to the drive and open and select all the files and click right properties... get you about 25 GB of space occupied by the files.

Run a CHKDSK scan and it will show also the 63 GB or more space used.

Have already removed all the shadow copies, deleted all temporary files, ran CCleaner and got rid of everything. Delete the backups or restore points.  Makes no difference.

I have install Windows and in 'My Computer', it shows that 63 GB is used.  And it is above all of the windows updated hundred occur after installtion.  Nothing else was installed.

Any ideas?  I can put Windows on a 128 GB SSD, which only shows GB total 119 in 'My Computer' in the first instance.  After all the windows updates and virus and MS Office program, it would be complete and have no space to work.

The point is... Windows should only be taking up about 25 GB... May 30 when it is updated and corrected.

Finally I thought of her.

When windows is installed into hibernation is enabled... No matter what you see in equipment/control panel and power sound/Options/change Plan / change advanced power settings.  Hibernation settings and parameters of sleep can show as disabled in the advanced but you will ALWAYS have a file called "Hiberfil" at the root of the C drive and it will be or has been on my system... 24 GB in size.

You will have to view all the files/folders to view this file.

24 GB windows put side also used space for modes of hibernation / sleep.  24GO of Wasted space!

I have also 32 GB of system memory.  When you install windows by default... it sets the page file/Virtual memory size in the same amount of memory you have installed.  In my case a little more than 32 GB was my page file size.

IF you have windows which takes about 12 GB installation, 1 without updates.

For more, 24GO Hibernation and 32 GB of page file.

So, when you look at 'My Computer' after a clean and no installation update again... Windows takes 12 + 24 + 32 GB = 69 GB... 69GB for a windows installation!  And the hard drive is only considered GB 119.  Once you do all the 'windows updates' installation will be more several GB.

So my 119GB SSD drive will be 75% or more complete just after installing windows.

SOLUTION: To get rid from where to disable Hibernation and recover 24 GB of disk space... go to start > programs > Accessories and right click on command prompt and select "run as Administrator".

This executes the function of the command mode prompt "high command prompt".

Your command prompt window should read as C:\Windows\System32 in mode "high".

If your window to prompt similar to C:\Users\Tony bed... then you are not in high mode.

Type the following in the command prompt window to disable the hibernation: powercfg-h off and press ENTER.

There is a space after the 'g' powercfg and also a space between the '-h' and the word 'off '.

The "Hiberfil" file in your root of C will have now disappeared and wah - Los Angeles... you 24GO more free space on your drive currently.

"#2 SOLUTION: right-click on"My computer"and select properties.  In the window that opens on the left column, click on "Advanced System Settings".  The window that opens will be the "Advanced" tab  Click settings in the performance section of this tab. In the window that opens this time again click the "Advanced" tab  Down under "Virtual memory" click on the "Edit" button to change your virtual memory settings.

In my case, I stopped windows manage the virtual memory and changed the setting from the window of 32 GB virtual memory size, because I have 32 GB of installed system memory... I reduced my virtual memory to 8 GB which is always a huge!

But in doing so, I got another 24 GB of disc space given my size virtual memory 8 GB value.

So now, once you do both of these actions, you can go into 'My computer' and you see that now only have on (my) 20 GB of space is used instead of the original GB 68 to 69 of the space used.

So now I have just to 98 GB of free space on a disk Go 119... with the installation of windows occupying about 20 to 25 GB of space that you want to see normally.

Before... I had about 45 GB of free space (after update).

Auto power OFF after put into hibernation and make sure that you do not have an ungodly amount of virtual memory reserved for the use of windows!

  • Pavilion G6-1d21dx: necessary drivers after Windows 10 clean install on g6 (g6-1d21dx Pavilion) Pavilion

    I tried the HP support site, but I don't see any drivers for any available OS for my model, the g6-1d21dx Pavilion.

    I did a clean install of Windows 10, but the Wi - Fi button does not work. Apparently, there's a pilot called HP wireless button that I need to install. When I do a Google search for it, there is a link to HP's download page, but the link seems to be dead.

    HP allows us to download drivers more? It's frustrating, because drivers must be simple and easy.

    Can someone please tell me where I can get this and all the other drivers that I might need after doing a clean install of Windows 10?

    Thank you.

    Well, I think I solved the problem. The first time I did a new install of Windows 10, didn't have an Ethernet cable connected to the computer. This leads to all sorts of problems, including a lack of access to the Internet and some devices are not installed correctly. I reformatted the SSD drive and cloned my old hard drive, but that resulted in a very slow performance, then I would get errors every other time I start the computer (inaccessible_boot_device, unexpected_store_exception and kernel_data_input_error). In addition, the hard drive that I cloned has been running the 64 bit version of Windows 10, and I wanted to try the 32-bit version, because I want to use some software of old who will not run on 64-bit Windows 10 (for example, the Spanish dictionary Oxford SuperLex 3-in-1, French and German).

    Last night, I did another installation of the 32-bit version, but with a network attached cable. This time, after installation and update of Windows, all my devices appear to be installed and working properly. This includes the Synaptics touchpad, the HP wireless button, the AMD Radeon graphics card and the Realtek card reader. I didn't need to install whatever it is myself, and the Device Manager does not display the unknown devices. In addition, installation completed MUCH more quickly with the connected network cable.

    Conclusion: If you clean - install Windows 10, I highly recommend that you do so with a network cable attached so that you will have access to the Internet when it is necessary during installation. With fixed cable, both my wired network and my Wi - Fi network have been detected during installation. Wireless network connected, even my Wi - Fi was not available during the installation.

  • Windows XP Clean install... copies the files and then restarts... Never installed!

    I've recently updated some hardware in my PC, a new Gigabyte motherboard and an AMD Dual Core processor. Here are the specifications of what Im running:
    The rest is all pretty basic stuff... fans, etc heat sinks. It's pretty much a budget box, so there is nothing too special about it. I thought that I restart it come and go, but the process of starting always led me through the boot of MB, then to "loading of the operating system", then restart everything again.
    I did the walk through for clean install of Windows XP and everything goes well until it comes time for the operating system to install.
    1. Boot from CD
    2. Setup Windows XP now
    3. Delete the existing partition
    4. Create the new partition
    5. Choose the location and format of partition
    6. Copy the files in Windows XP
    The copy goes by fine... but after that is where the problem starts. Instead of going to Windows Installer, it will restart the PC.  After the reboot, it goes through the whole process that I mentioned at the beginning of this problem.
    What I am doing wrong?

    Hello

    Once the files are copied when the computer restarts automatically do not press any key to boot from the CD again and let the computer automatically launch the next step. Also remove any external devices attached outside keyboard and mouse.

    I hope hear from you soon!

  • Windows 10 clean install - need product key

    I bought a G70-70 last week and I would like to do a clean install of Windows 10. Before diving, I set up a dual boot with the 8.1 existing. During the Win 10 install it twice asked for a product key, but also allowed the installation to continue. I now have a working win 10, but he says that it requires activation. In the activation screen, it says I have an existing product key of *-8HVX7, but the details of the error show ' 0xC004C003 - the activation server determined that the specified product key has been blocked "."

    "I tried to use Magic Jelly Bean to get the product key existing under 8.1, but if I get it it gives an error code of ' 0xc004f050 - invalid product key.

    When I bought the laptop it says she is ready for Windows 10 and I expect an update would probably work, but I would like to start with a clean install.

    You must first upgrade your installation windows 8.1 for Windows 10. This also increases your key win8.1 to win10. After that, you can cleanly reinstall Win10 without any problem. Just make sure that the upgrade of Win10 have been activated.

    I've now upgraded a for my G70-70 of my own Win8.1 installed to Win10, through the upgrade of Windows Update & it but went well. The only thing I used to do was install the latest nVidia drivers.

  • HP Envy TS m7 Ntbk E0K99UA #ABL: HP Envy laptop Windows 10, clean install and reinstall applications preinstalled

    Hello

    8.1 Windows, I've just updated my HP Envy laptop to Windows 10. I now have a Windows 10 product key (that I found using the Microsoft tool productkey. The update went well. All the drivers have worked. The question isn't here.

    I have to do a clean reinstall of the laptop. Too much shit...

    I know how Windows 10, but I don't know how I'll be able to reinstall the app pre-loaded, he came with the laptop.

    Firstly, Windows 10 kind of RecoveryMgr blocked... I just can't access more...

    If I boot with the drive D or the backup media, I created, I'm only given the opportunity to reinstall completely (but, of course, for Windows 8).

    Two questions:

    1. from the D drive or my backup media, is there a way to separately select application to install? (Everything seems compressed and it allows me to start the installation of each software program.

    2-if I reinstall Windows 8 using backup media, I created (or d reader app), I'll have my own installation... but I'll be able to re-update to Windows 10? (remember, I now have a product key...).

    Thank you.

    Sébastien

    Your best option would be to use the recovery media to reinstall the original OS. Since you have an activation key of license for the original operating system meets the requirement to update Windows 10.

    Once you have done this, you can use the key to creation of Windows Media to create a bootable installation flash drive or to proceed directly to Windows 10.

    Windows 10 installation as an upgrade has the advantage of you to have the applications installed at the origin of the original OS present and ready to use in your new installation of Windows 10.

    Otherwise with a clean install of Windows 10, the HP Recovery Manager wil do not exist, or you can install it separately.
