Microsoft Surface RT Available Storage Space

Windows RT comes with an overhead that you may not of know about. There is a reason you wouldn’t want a 16GB Surface RT tablet you wouldn’t have any storage space left over to load apps or data. On the 32GB Surface, Microsoft reports that 29GB is available. However, you will need to subtract 5GB‘s for Windows recovery tools and another 8GB’s for Windows RT, Microsoft Office and other built-in apps. That leave only 16GB’s for your use for storing music, pictures, video, documents and more apps…  On the 65GB model you will be left with 48GB that would give you a lot more breathing room.
