I wonder how much does a ssd drive write during a fresh windows 10 pro install? Any ideas? Thanks

It'll be at least 32GB, it will depend on how new your W10 pro ISO is. The older it is, the more updates it will need to install.

Strictly speaking W10 will fit on the smallest new Sata or NVME SSD you can buy. average smallest size is 120GB.

If I remember correctly was 20gb for 64bit but jsut to be on the safe side go with Grimley estimate

If the question is how much space does a new w10 install use its going to be a out 30gb by the time you take into account the page /swap files probably another 8 to 16gb depending on your ram and if hybernation is on..
