How much HDD space is required for a 64-bit Windows 8 OS?

15GB
16GB
20GB
25GB

The correct answer is: 20GB

The correct answer is 16GB. A 64-bit Windows 8 operating system requires at least 16GB of available hard disk space for installation. This requirement ensures that there is enough room for the system files, applications, and subsequently, updates that may be needed over time. Although a 20GB option was considered, it exceeds the minimum requirement and does not accurately reflect the specified need for a 64-bit version. Similarly, 15GB falls short of the minimum requirement, and while 25GB provides ample space, it is unnecessary as the OS can be installed with 16GB. The focus should be on the minimum specifications needed for effective installation and operation, making 16GB the correct choice for the required HDD space for a 64-bit Windows 8 OS.
