On: 64 GB Surface Pro will only have 23 GB free

[JVIDEL]

So recovery takes at least 12GB of those 64? I would like the option to transfer it to a thumbdrive or an extHDD and get all that space back.

Still that leaves about 29GB for the windows install, and that TBH is a bit insane, 29 for an OS? even if it comes with Office thats just too much.
