Hello,
I am going to buy a self-assembled PC, so it will not have any OS on it.
How much does Windows 10 weigh? If I get an SSD larger than what is required, can I use it to store other things besides Windows 10 or is it better to leave the OS alone on it?
Thank you.

Hello,
Windows 10 requires a minimum of 64GB to be ample and worry-free (with updates, etc.).
However, we don’t just install Windows 10 on the SSD, but also all the software that will go with it.
Ideally, today we recommend a minimum of ~250GB on the SSD if you have additional storage (like a hard drive), otherwise opt for a larger capacity SSD if you won't be adding any other storage.
After all, it also depends on the usage...

I actually have an extra HDD. Given that Windows won't take up all the space on my SSD, can I put other applications (games, various software) on this SSD before I start filling up the HDD, or would it be better to only put Win10 on the SSD?
