OEMs and other hardware partners sometimes publish new graphics, networking, audio, and other drivers in conjunction with the new OS update.

During a feature update, Windows tries to download and automatically install the latest quality update so that your PC is fully up to date when you start using it. Shortly after the feature update is released, the quality update for that feature update could be as small as a few hundred MB, but as more quality and security changes are implemented, the quality update can increase in size to 1 GB or more. If your PC is short on disk space, you can download and install the quality update after the feature update is complete.</p> <meta itemprop="position" content="4"> </li> </ul> <p>Finally, Windows Update will temporarily disable hiberfile.sys, pagefile.sys, and other system files in order to use the space these files typically consume to apply the feature update. Any files that are disabled to apply the update will be automatically re-enabled when the update is complete. Because these files vary in size depending on how you use your PC and the amount of RAM your PC has, even in cases where two different PCs have the exact same OS image, the amount of free disk space required to complete an update may vary.</p> <p>The combination of update path and features means there’s a wide range of free disk space required to complete an update.

For example:</p> <ul> <li itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/ListItem"> <p> <b class="ocpUI">Optional features</b>. Many optional features available for Windows are pre-installed or acquired on demand by the system, or manually by you.

Windows is localized into many languages. Although many people only use one language at a time, some people switch between two or more languages.

The content for each language can range from about 175 MB to more than 300 MB. You can reduce the amount of space required to install a feature update on your PC by uninstalling languages you aren’t using.</p> <meta itemprop="position" content="2"> </li> <li itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/ListItem"> <p> <b class="ocpUI">Driver updates</b>. OEMs and other hardware partners sometimes publish new graphics, networking, audio, and other drivers in conjunction with the new OS update. The size of these drivers can vary significantly, depending on your PC and on which drivers have been updated.</p> <meta itemprop="position" content="3"> </li> <li itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/ListItem"> <p> <b class="ocpUI">OS quality updates</b>. During a feature update, Windows tries to download and automatically install the latest quality update so that your PC is fully up to date when you start using it. Shortly after the feature update is released, the quality update for that feature update could be as small as a few hundred MB, but as more quality and security changes are implemented, the quality update can increase in size to 1 GB or more. If your PC is short on disk space, you can download and install the quality update after the feature update is complete.</p> <meta itemprop="position" content="4"> </li> </ul> <p>Finally, Windows Update will temporarily disable hiberfile.sys, pagefile.sys, and other system files in order to use the space these files typically consume to apply the feature update. Any files that are disabled to apply the update will be automatically re-enabled when the update is complete. Because these files vary in size depending on how you use your PC and the amount of RAM your PC has, even in cases where two different PCs have the exact same OS image, the amount of free disk space required to complete an update may vary.</p> <p>The combination of update path and features means there’s a wide range of free disk space required to complete an update.
