Got a free copy of 8 pro from work and figured I would install it on my old HP (runs vista, 2gb ram, 160gb hd) to see if I could extend its life a long enough for me to decide what I'd get next.
The hard drive has been practically full for the past year and a half. I got an external hard drive for my birthday and have been backing everything up. In total, I have about 40gb of files.
Anyway, I got the copy yesterday and started the upgrade. As part of the process, it asked if I wanted to keep files or delete.
I said delete.
With all my files, anything temporary, and program files deleted, I figured I'd have a good amount of storage to work with.
Not the case.
I only have about 29gb free on this thing and am wondering if anyone knows what would be taking up all of the space.
