Sorry, but where I come from, I really need to know.
📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses the size of the Windows 8 installation media, with initial questions about storage requirements. Dennis explains that the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 8 are approximately 2 to 2.5 GB in size, with installed sizes around 16–20 GB. Troubled provides specific ISO file sizes for the 64-bit version (~2.8 GB) and notes slight variations based on geographic location, estimating the 32-bit version to be somewhat smaller, offering detailed insights to the original poster.

This depends on wether you want the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of Windows 8. If I remember correctly it's about 2 to 2.5GB in size. When installed the 64-bit version uses 20GB of size, and 32-bit version uses 16GB.

I can tell you that the currently available Windows 8 Pro Upgrade ISO is 2,828,864 KB (64bit version)
Of just short of 3 gigs. This is what I got here in the U.S.
I've had reports the ISO may very slightly in size based on geography. For instance the same ISO in the UK is reported as being 2,764,736 KB, so a few megs different.
Haven't gotten any reports so far with respect to the 32 bit version but I would expect it to be a few hundred megs smaller.
Hope that helps.
Regards
Randy
