<p>FWIW<br>
</p>
<p>I bought an MSi gaming laptop 4/30/2016 with 128GB SSD for the
OS and 1TB HD for data.</p>
<p>Within a week it did a full upgrade to the next W10 version</p>
<p>Some stuff installed:<br>
Quicken, Garmin stuff, Epson Scanner stuff, Firefox, Opera,
Chrome, TightVNC, Thunderbird,<br>
LibreOffice, Outlook, KeePass, VeraCrypt, ESET, FreeFileSync,
Skype, GoogleEarthPro, Legacy8,<br>
TaxAct, UltraEdit, VueScan, TapeCalc, all the windows Goodies, all
the MSi goodies,<br>
and probably some stuff I forgot<br>
</p>
<p>BYW I'm not gaming.<br>
</p>
<p>Right now it's 60GB used 65GB free as of today.<br>
Data is on the 1TB drive.<br>
It should be good for a few years.</p>
<p>You could always add a smaller HD for your data, if needed.<br>
Or use network storage , which solves backup problems.<br>

<div>I am getting ready to purchase some Windows 10 computers
for circulation desks. They will have Windows 10 64 bit, MS
Office, and Workflows installed on them. Will a 128 GB SSD be
large enough to allow for 5-6 years of Windows updates? There
is a considerable jump in price when you go to a 256 GB SSD.</div>

<div>I have 6 year old Windows 7 computers running on 60 GB
SSD. A couple of those were down to 1 GB of free space until
I dumped all of the download files from Windows update. After
deleting those files, the freep space was between 10-12 GB.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After working with computers with SSD, I wouldn't want to
use anything else.</div>
