Windows 10 download size
Hi
I have a question which Id like to ask being new at this I need to understand the answer.
My question...
Why are windows 10 downloads so large? Im talking about the insider builds and I can understand that if you are on windows 7 or something the first time you switch to 10 that the download will be large. But installing a new build on top of that build I would think that the download sizes would be smaller, after all you have installed the main part of windows 10 and by installing a new build you are merely adding features or fixing bugs that were in your pervious version. I can imagine that in order to fix some bugs areas of the OS have to be re written - hence the large sizes. I am asking this because some users have limited bandwidth or a slower connection speed. In some cases the bandwidth that a potential users is allotted from the service provider barely covers an insider build.
Also perhaps I should be posting this in a separate post - when I was downloading and installing tp builds the downloading often took me in the region of 5 hours and then the installation of that build also took about 5 hours. Ive read that this is because of the programs on my hard disk' having to be re installed.
