You are well within your limit.
500GB equals 465 useable.
Total used by OS will maybe be 50 GG.
Still 415 free.

Professional version and XP mode will eat up from my computer with
the Home Premium that I have now.
Thanks

That laptop (unless it is an SSD) should have at a minimum a 120 GB
harddrive.

First, thanks for answering my last question.
I bought an Alienware 11in notebook computer from Costco that
shipped with Windows 7 Home Premium. This is an extra computer I
bought to learn more about Windows 7. I have some older Dos based
accounting programs that I like to run that I haven't been able to
install on Windows 7 so I was thinking about Windows XP mode.
Microsoft website ways that I will need almost 23 GB of disk space
for the Windows 7 Professional download. Then I'll need to download
the XP mode, Virtual PC and XP Mode update. I do have a lot of disk
space, but I was wondering how much additional disk space will be
taken up on my notebook after I'm done by upgrading Home Premium to
Professional and installing XP Mode, Virtual PC and the XP mode update.
Thanks again.
