How much free space do I need to install elementary OS?
You need to make some free space on your existing hard drive where you’ll install elementary OS. I recommend allocating 30-40 GB for a comfortable use. You can allot more space if you want. If you have several partitions already (Drive D, E, F etc), I suggest deleting one of them to create free space.
How big of a partition do I need for elementary OS?
Let’s just focus here on the installation of Elementary OS. Create a root partition first. Choose on the free space available and click on add. It needs minimum 6 GB but if you could allot more, it will be better. I usually allot it around 18-20 GB but anything above 12 GB will be more than sufficient.
