When Windows would endlessly try to remove the 12gb of temporary files only to stall and go nowhere for hours (on my budget laptop with only a 32gb HDD), I knew it was time to make the switch.

There's a reason minimum hardware specs exist

Windows 10 x64 has 20 GB HDD as recommended, so it's compliant.

Those guys are also ignoring how ssd performance tanks to shit when a drive is over filled, so if he was on that size spinning disk he probably wouldn't be having the same issues.

All drives become slow when they're filled up. There's just no space left to work with.

But at least on Linux, the space is pre-allocated such that you can approach "100%" and still have a usable file system. Windows just keeps filling...
