  • The system will include all it's virtual memory and it's own recovery files - so realistically you have a lot more space free. I can't remember the solution, if there is one though. Helpful huh?

    If you can, just manually copy your needed files onto the external drive. then do the full clean install on the SSD. Or use carbon copy cloner. Or buy a TB external drive.
