Reducing Windows 10 size to lower than 2 GB ???

[newsonline5000000]

I understand that Win 10 needs at least 20GB of hard disk space .

and I understand that most of that huge data space comes from art (pics and animations and effects files. and voice files (including Cortana and other voice files) and these are not really important for the functionality of the OS.

I wonder if there is a way to lower the windows size to lower than 2GB by removing all the Art and voice files and programs that I dont need , and by using old style simple colors windows without any eye candy effects at all and even using few colors and icons and voice files.

and add to it remove ANY utility that I dont use and I dont want. to make the OS as compact as possible ?

My aim is around 2GB of space. is it possible ?

I am left with 18GB free space only which is not enough . I will try my best to lower the windows size.

This is my Asus Transformer, 32GB eMMC drive.
Plain vanilla Win 10 Home 32bit. No real effort to make things smaller.

This machine also has a dozen or so applications installed:
VLC
IrfanView
TeamViewer
FireFox
Foxit Reader
OpenOffice
Macrium Reflect
etc...

Why is "18GB free" not enough, for a school device?

it is not your business any more to know why . I dont have to explain myself to you.

I have a simple Question , and it is not your business why, you are a moderator and going off topic.

stop bothering me with your "why"

My question is simple , I want 2GB for windows . not your business why . you are not my boss nor my mentor.

I have the reasons , and i dont want to explain it to you anymore .

Your initial question was, IMHO, the wrong question to ask.
"Reducing Windows 10 size to lower than 2 GB ???"

What you are actually looking for is:
"I have a tablet device, with a drive size of XX, and other specs of X, Y, and Z. This will be used in a school environment.
What is the optimum OS that can be used with it?"


That may be some tablet Windows variant, regular Win 10, or even possibly Linux.
Why does it have to be "Windows 10"?

How do you determine that "18GB" is too much or too small? You've not stated any other requirements.
Do these tablets have a slot for a microSD card? Many do.

IMHO, you're asking the wrong question, and going down the wrong road.

not your business how I ask questions. My demand is clear : I want 2GB of windows only.
how I think and how I reached this conclusion is non of your business , and you dont lecture me how to pose Questions.

You can demand all you want its not going to make Windows work any differently than it already does. You're asking to basically reverse engineer an OS with no experience whatsoever in OS design, programming, and so on. You've been answered here by some experts in the field who would have been more than happy to work with you into a workable solution, but instead you are completely rude and dismissive of them and their assistance. Thats not how this forum or collective works. So this thread is hereby closed. Consider this a warning, be respectful and work with those trying to help you, or pose your questions elsewhere.
