I have a Samsung Slate with only 64 GB of hard disk. I need 20 GB to download windows 8, but after deleting every file I can safely think of I still need to find another 7 GB. From what I can tell it is pretty much windows files taking up the remainder of the space.

Any suggestions on how to get enough space for the install?

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Ive got a 64 GB SSD split into two partitions and have Windows 8 Pro and the consumer preview installed on it. After installation there is roughly 10 GB LEFT, so if you're not going to put many apps on there fine, but if you do it's going to fill up fast.

Naturally these are clean installs, but gives you some idea.

As far as I can tell this will only let me create a Window 8 consumer preview file, not a Windows 8 pro file? Does this not matter?

Sorry to be dump about this, but where do I get the Windows 8 Pro ISO file? The file I got with the upgrade I purchased is a websetup.exe file.

Thanks for the help.
