| 1366780 | 2014-02-10 01:53:00 | Thats a little to high. From memory ( these figures pop into mind, so will be out a bit) - the recovery partition should be roughly 15-20GB give or take a few of GB's. The main drive fresh install roughly 30GB. The recovery partition is in a compressed format. Dont have any HP W8's here at the moment to check. When doing an upgrade, assuming its installed OK and all your programs and data are working, then you delete the windows.old folder, which is the old W8. Usually around 15GB Heres how: www.eightforums.com Thanks! I haven't actually upgraded it yet.. I was meaning the specifications of the laptop listed was 750 GB but the two drives total 697GB (Windows 673GB : recovery: 24.3GB) doesn't bother me, curious is all! also I'm about to upgrade to 8.1, can you tell me if when you "refresh" your pc whether it rolls back to win8 or not? Thx! :) |

| 1366782 | 2014-02-10 02:34:00 | Looks like people have had probs after upgrading to 8.1 (and if you try to refresh) (answers.microsoft.com). It looks like it'll tell you files are missing when you refresh. And if you get 8.1 from the store, you wont have the media to fix it You may have to get the small file from one of the answers above then get the 8.1 iso |
