We only have a 20GB unallocated space on our disk, so we have no dilemma. However, it is possible that you may have other partitions from previous installations present, or you may have created a custom partitioning setup before starting Windows 7 installation using a third-party partitioning software, like GParted.
Partitioning
![Page 13: How to install windows 7](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012913/55841a03d8b42ab4608b51da/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Highlight the unallocated space and click Next.
![Page 14: How to install windows 7](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012913/55841a03d8b42ab4608b51da/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Windows 7 needs 16GB of free space. However, you can do with less.
The minimum recommended space for a partition where you want to place Windows 7 is 10350MB.
Eventually, the installation itself will take approx. 7GB.

your installation
won't succeed. It might, but why risk it?
