About this tag
The size comparison tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about file and disk usage differences between Windows versions and formats. Topics include comparing the download size of Windows 7 builds in VHD versus ISO format, noting that a 64-bit build may be similar in size to a 32-bit one. Another thread examines disk space increase after upgrading from Vista to Windows 7, questioning whether the extra usage is normal or due to upgrade files. These posts help users understand storage implications of different Windows editions and installation methods.
So i am downloading Windows 7 Build 7232 x64 from wzor. I noticed that it's 2.34 GB. Im confused as when i got build 7229 in 32-bit it was around the same size. I thought a 64 was bigger. Or is it this size since its a vhd file and not iso.
I am going to use keznew's way to make it a iso.
After the upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 RC my disc usage went from 172 to 177. Is this to be expected? Is it because I did an upgrade? Or is Win7 Premium that much larger? Is there a folder hiding somewhere with installation or rollback files that could at some point be deleted...
