I want to install Ubuntu on my PC to dual-boot it with Windows 10. I have 14 GB space on my SSD(boot drive). Is this enough? And if it isn't can install it on my secondary hard drive to dual-boot it?

  • 14Gb in total of just base system? If the latter:yes, I used a 10gb root for years and years. If the first you will need to manage your personal data: you can put your private data on the 2nd disk too. – Rinzwind Sep 29 '18 at 12:31

  • I am currently using 8.4GB in / on SSD, but have all data on HDD including some of the normally larger hidden folders like Firefox & Thunderbird profiles. I normally make / partition 25 to 30GB, but may have smaller partition where just testing another install. I do not have any games. You can have / on SSD & /home on HDD, but still need to regularly houseclean. But do not make NTFS partition too small as Windows likes 30% free space. At 10% free, it may take forever to defrag. – oldfred Sep 29 '18 at 15:02

I tell you, yesterday I installed Xubuntu 18.04 on a laptop with google chrome, firestorm, skype and clipgrab and all this needs 15,2GB, I think it's too little.. I think you must reestructure the partitions to make bigger this 14GB to 30GB or 40GB and I think it's enough if you dont need to save a lot of files, photos, games or software... I hope it could help you!
