Recall uses Copilot+ PC advanced processing capabilities to take images of your active screen every few seconds.

The minimum hard drive space needed to run Recall is 256 GB, and 50 GB of space must be available. The default allocation for Recall on a device with 256 GB will be 25 GB

Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers.

you will see the Recall taskbar icon after you first activate your device.

Do you want more red flags? Or don't I have permission?

It needs a tenth of my drive pretty much? WTF is Microsoft doing?

Microsoft being Microsoft.

So would partitioning your drive so windows is on less than 256 GB work to make it not run?

[–] Restaldt 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Correct that will eventually cause windows to break

Jesus. How heavy is windows now?!

When installed on a SSD, it can weight up to 150g.

But seriously, I have Win10 in a VM here using 73GB on disk.
