How much space does Win 10 take up on a 32 GB eMMC laptop?

Usually end up with about 4GB spare on most I've seen :S if you clean out some of the old system files you can increase it a bit though - I've managed to get the OS usage down to ~14GB that way though it tends to creep up again.

I stuck a 64GB SD card in mine to help with space.

Ok, ta. Its only to surf web. Friend was asking about one as cheap. You dont see 11.6" netbooks with proper HDs in them!

Agree with this. Personally I'd go for more but if its just browsing/media it can work.

I had an Asus T100 with 32Gb eMMC, stripped out all the crap and recovery nonsense and it was more than useable.

I thought you had to careful doing that as isn't recovery different on one than a normal windows device?

Never had any problems. Just installed Windows from USB key.

We have 4 Asus T200's in the office, usually end up with 6-7gb free with win10 and office installed. Had to uninstall office from one of them when upgrading to win10 due to space. "My Documents" stayed on the tablet but "pictures/videos/music" we moved to a micro SD card as some of the users like to sync phones to them.
