Waa macquul in la rumaysto in nooc kasta oo cusub ee Windows uu sii weynaanayo. Waxyaabo cusub^(New) oo korka ka ah waxyaalihii hore waa inay sameeyaan Windows 11 isticmaal boos badan, sax? Waxaa laga yaabaa in. Aynu aragno waxa aad samayn karto si aad u samayso Windows 11 ku rakib meel yar.

Intee in le'eg ayay ka qaadataa Windows 11?^{(How Much Space Does Windows 11 Take?)}

Waa maxay Windows 11 u baahan yahay iyo waxa Microsoft u baahan tahay si loo rakibo Windows 11 waa laba shay oo kala duwan. Xafiiska Windows 11 kaydinta looga baahan yahay waa 64 GB. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, Microsoft's Windows 11^{(Microsoft’s Windows 11 Requirements)} bogga shuruudaha ayaa nooga digaya, " Meelaha kaydinta  dheeraadka ah ayaa loo baahan karaa si loo soo dejiyo cusbooneysiinta oo loo suurtageliyo sifooyin gaar ah."^(Additional)

Intee buu weyn yahay Windows 11 Ku rakib Soodejintu?^{(How Big Is the Windows 11 Install Download?)}

Haddii aad si toos ah uga cusboonaysiinayso Windows 10 una gudbayso Windows 11^{(Windows 11)} , cabbirka soo dejisantu wuxuu ku saabsan yahay 3.5 GB. Si kastaba ha noqotee, haddii aad rabto inaad ku rakibto Windows 11 adoo isticmaalaya faylka .ISO, qorshee inaad haysato 5.37 GB oo boos ah ugu yaraan. Daaqadaha^(Windows) ku hadla luqado kala duwan ayaa laga yaabaa inay lahaadaan cabbir ka weyn .ISO. Haddii aad u maleyneyso in 5.37 GB ay badan tahay, maskaxda ku hay in tani ay tahay rakibaha Windows -ka ee daabacado badan.^(Windows)

Daabacaadda Windows 11 Keebaa Isticmaala Meesha Ugu Yar?^{(Which Edition of Windows 11 Uses the Least Space?)}

Waxaad taqaanaa daabacadaha Windows Home iyo Windows Pro . ^{(Windows Home and Windows Pro)}Laakiin ma ka ogeyd Windows qaabka S, Waxbarashada Windows^{(Windows Education)} , iyo Windows Enterprise ? Daabacaad kastaa waxay leedahay awoodo iyo astaamo lagu rakibay oo kala duwan.

Windows 11 ee qaabka S^{(Windows 11 in S mode )} waxay u badan tahay inuu haysto kan ugu yar, aan la beddelin, cabbirka rakiban. Taas^(Which) oo macno samaynaysa maadaama ay tahay nooca la siibay ee Windows 11 Guriga^(Home) , oo u oggolaanaya rakibidda apps ka Microsoft Store iyo Microsoft Edge sida browserka webka. Ma cadda sida ay u yar tahay Windows 11 ee qaabka S, si kastaba ha ahaatee Windows 10 ee qaabka S^{(Windows 10 in S mode)} wuxuu isticmaalaa kaliya 5 GB ee booska wadista. 

Ku rakibida Windows 11 ee qaabka S^{(Installing Windows 11 in S mode)} waxay u baahan tahay shaqo badan oo qofka caadiga ahi aanu awood u lahayn inuu sameeyo, markaa tan u daa soo saarayaasha aaladaha. Haddii aad rabto kan ugu yar Windows 11 , iibso qalab sheegaya in uu isticmaalayo Windows 11 ee qaabka S. Waxaad damin kartaa qaabka S Windows 11 , laakiin ma jirto dib ugu noqoshada habka S mar markaad sameyso.

Windows 11 Gurigu^{(Windows 11 Home)} waxa uu leeyahay raad dhan 17.88GB oo la rakibay, iyada oo aan lala xidhiidhin OneDrive kaaga . Haddii aad doorato inaad isku dhejiso OneDrive^(OneDrive) kaaga inta lagu jiro Windows 11 dejinta, ku dar cabbirka OneDrive lambarkaas.

Windows 11 Pro wuxuu qaataa 18.09 GB marka la rakibo. Taasi waxay ku salaysan tahay rakibaadda aan ku xidhnayn domain. Ku xidhidhitaanka domain wax badan farqi ma samaynayso ilaa ay jiraan siyaasado lagu daray ama meesha ka saaray walxaha Windows 11 Pro ama darawalada rakibay, daabacayaasha, iyo software-ka.

Windows 11 Waxbarashadu^{(Windows 11 Education)} waxay isticmaashaa meel waxyar ka yar marka loo eego Pro , laakiin in ka badan Guriga, 17.91 GB . Daabacaadani waxay qaadatay ugu dheer in lagu rakibo imtixaanka, laakiin qayb weyn oo ka mid ah taas ayaa ah xaqiijinta arrimo badan oo qasab ah ( MFA ). Taasi way fiicantahay in lagu arko daaqadaha^(Windows) ku yaala dugsiyada.

Daabacaadyadani waxay leeyihiin kala duwanaansho kale, sida Windows 11 Guri Hal Luuqad ah^{(Home Single Language)} iyo Windows Education Pro . Hase yeeshee, sida aad aragtay, ma jiro farqi badan oo u dhexeeya daabacadaha ugu caansan, markaa ha filanin kala duwanaansho weyn oo kala duwanaanshuhu.

Haddii Windows 11 Kaliya Qaado 18 GB Maxay Microsoft U Tiraahdaa 64 GB?^{(If Windows 11 Only Takes 18 GB Why Does Microsoft Say 64 GB?)}

Waxaa jira farqi 46 GB ah oo u dhexeeya cabbirka la rakibay ee Windows 11 iyo baahida Microsoft ee 64 GB. Laakiin waa maxay sababtu? Qayb ka mid ah waa sababta oo ah rakibidda nidaamka hawlgalka waxay u baahan tahay xoogaa boos ah oo lagu wareego. Sida Windows 11 loo rakibay, xogta waa la qorayaa oo laga saarayaa. Waqti kasta, hababka rakibida waxay qaadan karaan in ka badan 18 GB. 

Sidoo kale, haysashada wax ka yar 64 GB waxay keeni doontaa Windows 11 inuu si dhakhso ah u shaqeeyo. Ku rakibida dhowr barnaamij ayaa cuni doona 48 GB oo boos banaan ah, waxbana ma shaqayn doono.

Habka loo yaqaan streamlining Windows ayaa samayn kara Windows 11 waxay qaadan kartaa meel yar marka la rakibo. Hagaajinta waxay u baahan tahay tafatirka rakibaadda Windows .ISO mana aha wax qof kastaa sameeyo laakiin khabiir IT ah oo khibrad leh waa inuu sameeyo, markaa ma geli doonno faahfaahinta.

Fikradda guud ee hagaajinta Windows 11 rakibidda .ISO waxay kaaga baahan tahay:

• Ku dheji .ISO wadista ahaan
• ^(Edit)Wax ka beddel sida faylka boot.wim iyo diiwaanka Windows
• Tirtir^(Delete) darawalada qalabka aan la isticmaali doonin
• Fur .ISO 
• Hubi in .ISO la qaadi karo 
• Ku rakib Windows -ka cusub ee la tafatiray .ISO

Waad arki kartaa sida tani aysan adiga kuu ahaan doonin. Haddii aanad hore u garanayn sida loo sameeyo mid kasta oo ka mid ah tillaabooyinkaas keligaa, iska dhaaf.

How Much Space Does Windows 11 Take Up?

It’s reasonable to believe that everу new version of Windows gets bigger. Nеw things on top of old things should make Windоws 11 use more space, right? Maybe. Let’s see what you can do to make your Windows 11 install in less space.

How Much Space Does Windows 11 Take?

What Windows 11 needs and what Microsoft requires to install Windows 11 are two different things. The office Windows 11 storage requirement is 64 GB. However, Microsoft’s Windows 11 Requirements page warns us, “Additional storage space might be required to download updates and enable specific features.” 

How Big Is the Windows 11 Install Download?

If you’re upgrading directly from Windows 10 to Windows 11, the download size is about 3.5 GB. However, if you want to install Windows 11 using an .ISO file, plan on having 5.37 GB of space at least. Windows in different languages may have a larger .ISO file size.  If you think 5.37 GB is a lot, keep in mind this is a multi-edition Windows installer.

Which Edition of Windows 11 Uses the Least Space?

You know about Windows Home and Windows Pro editions. But did you know about Windows in S mode, Windows Education, and Windows Enterprise? Each edition has different capabilities and features installed.

Windows 11 in S mode is most likely to have the smallest, unmodified, install size. Which makes sense as it is a stripped-down version of Windows 11 Home, allowing only the installation of apps from the Microsoft Store and Microsoft Edge as the web browser. It’s unclear how small Windows 11 in S mode will be, however Windows 10 in S mode uses only about 5 GB of drive space. 

Installing Windows 11 in S mode requires a lot of work that the average person isn’t capable of doing, so leave this to the device manufacturers. If you want the smallest Windows 11, buy a device that says it’s using Windows 11 in S mode. You can turn off S mode in Windows 11, but there’s no going back into S mode once you do.

Windows 11 Home has a footprint of 17.88 GB installed, without syncing to your OneDrive. If you choose to sync your OneDrive during Windows 11 setup, add the size of your OneDrive to that number.

Windows 11 Pro takes 18.09 GB when installed. That’s based on an install that isn’t attached to a domain. Being connected to a domain wouldn’t make much of a difference unless there were policies that added or removed elements of Windows 11 Pro or installed drivers, printers, and software.

Windows 11 Education uses slightly less space than Pro, but more than Home, at 17.91 GB. This edition took the longest to install in testing, but a large part of that is the mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA) set up. That’s good to see in the Windows that is in the schools.

These editions have other variations, such as Windows 11 Home Single Language and Windows Education Pro. Yet, as you’ve seen, there isn’t much difference between the most common editions so don’t expect large differences in the variations.

If Windows 11 Only Takes 18 GB Why Does Microsoft Say 64 GB?

There’s a 46 GB difference between the installed size of Windows 11 and Microsoft’s requirement of 64 GB. But why? Part of it is because installing an operating system requires some space to move around. As Windows 11 is being installed, data is being written and removed. At any time, the installation processes may take up more than 18 GB. 

Also, having less than 64 GB will cause Windows 11 to run poorly quickly. Installing just a few programs will eat up that 48 GB of free space, and nothing will work.

Make a Windows 11 Install Use Less Space Before Install

A process called streamlining Windows can make Windows 11 take less space on installation. Streamlining requires editing the Windows installation .ISO  and it’s not something anyone but a seasoned IT professional should do, so we’re not going to go into details.

The general idea of streamlining the Windows 11 installation .ISO requires you to:

• Mount the .ISO as a drive
• Edit things like the boot.wim file and Windows registry
• Delete hardware drivers that won’t be used
• Unmount the .ISO 
• Ensure the .ISO is bootable 
• Install Windows from the newly edited .ISO

You can see how this might not be for you. If you don’t already know how to do every one of those steps on your own, leave it alone.

Make a Windows 11 Install Use Less Space During Install

How do you get the smallest Windows 11 install? You might think skipping install options like adding a second keyboard layout or not turning on things like Cortana might use less space. Unfortunately, those still get installed; they’re just not turned on.

The one point in the setup that can make a difference is when Windows 11 gets to the Back up your files with OneDrive settings. Choose Don’t back up my files to prevent OneDrive from syncing. If you sync OneDrive on install, it could use hundreds of GBs of your drive or more.

Make a Windows 11 Install Take Less Space After Install

Perhaps surprisingly, The Microsoft default apps that are installed with Windows 11 Home only take up 0.68 GB in our testing. Still, we’ve got an article on how to remove Windows default apps from Windows for you.

If you upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 through Windows Update, try Disk Cleanup with the option to remove System Restore and Shadow Copies. Be aware that removing restore points and Shadow Copies could make recovering files or Windows impossible. However, using Disk Cleanup could free hundreds of MBs or even several GBs of drive space.

Another method for those who’ve upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 is to delete the Windows.old directory. See our article, How to Delete the Windows.old folder in Windows 7/8/10. The same steps apply to Windows 11. This could free 20, 30, or more GBs of space, especially if your Windows 11 install failed a few times.

A less impactful step is to not sync Microsoft Edge with your Microsoft account when starting Edge for the first time. Sure, favorites, collections, and extensions don’t take up that much space, but every bit counts.

More Ways To Reduce the Size of Windows 11?

You can do things to free up drive space in Windows 11 as you continue to use it. However, there aren’t many ways to reduce the size of a fresh install of Windows 11. Have you seen any others? Please share them with us. We love to learn as much as you do.
