It's the closest I've ever come to wanting to switch to Linux. If not for FO4 I might be on it right now. I'm getting sick of shit like this.

It stores all installers in there, just to be sure the uninstall process needs them. Updates too by the way, that's so you can't just delete it.

Oh I learned a lot about it when trying to get rid of it. My question is more why would Microsoft do this?
>>
>>51592305
Because windblows users are retarded.
It's much easier for microsoft to just store everything there than have their FLS lines busy because people can't uninstall their shitty programs they installed
It's easier for the users because they don't need to keep track of their installers
It's easier for HDD manufacturers to sell their products when users run out of space to store their windows installation

it's win-win-win
Why wouldn't they do it?
>>
doesn't happen on my machine :^)

>Why wouldn't they do it?
Because a distributed archive of program stacks is much easier baka senpai desu
We'll call it a package manager
>>
>>51592676
>>51592305
because most windows users are normal everyday users without any knowledge about the OS

I want to install Windows 10 as a secondary OS on an old 80GB SSD.

Is that even possible, or do I need a bigger SSD?
>>
>>51593747
why W10?

I'm a web developer and need to test in Edge.
