How much space does Windows 10 take?
So i am gonna build a new PC, but with an only 240gb ssd... Will that be enough just for gaming and ofc Windows 10 pro? I wonder how many GBs does Windows 10 take? Thanks!

Windows 10 will grab more space over time. Just assume Windows 10 to need about 20-30gb for itself.

240gb is plenty for Windows + a few games.

Approx 20 GB

Probably not..

You will have to check if all your games will fit on it yourself.

What about 480gb?

Grab a 250gb SSD for Windows and a 1tb HDD for games.

I don't know.. Some games are 1gb others are 100gb. It really depends on the games in question.

480gb might be enough for games like cs go, rainbow, tf2, dota, etc. but with 240gb you may be able to download one or two games beside having the windows 10 system for your own safety and system speed. Since your pc and games will get updated way too many times you wont be able to find any empty space for your system. But there are some games like elder scrolls online which takes over 65gb or if you are not lucky 128gb etc. so you will have to think about it

I have found the WIndows10 using roughly 40Gb. When nothing else is installed than it.

240Gb is good enough for Windows + 2 fairly big games or quite several smaller games.

Use Windows 7 Pro /Ultimate for next 2 years. Product Keys for EUR 10~15

I have a silicon power S60 240GB for both OS and games and is enough for 10 games for me.
For the games you play should be enough.
You could add later another SSD.

Will be more than enough for your mentioned games.

IMHO, just get a ~500GB SSD, and skip the HDD. Crucial SSDs are often on sale too, seen some 500GB version for 70 euros.
