Microsoft specifies in the system requirements how much free hard disk space you need to install Windows 7.

• It says that you need at least 16 GB of free space for the 32-bit version and a minimum of 20 GB for the 64-bit version.
• Keep in mind that Windows needs regular updates. Depending on which programs you also want to install, your hard drive should therefore be a lot larger.
