Windows 11 Insider Preview 10.0.26200.5516 (ge_release_upr) installing Failure
Try Windows Key +X > Terminal (Admin)
Powercfg -h
This disables hibernation and should free up good amount of space.
Otherwise in the same Terminal session use winget to search and install treesizeview.free
Often it's Apple phone Backups eating up disk space.
Using OneDrive? You can setup folders with large rarely used files to be on demand only. Check your OneDrive sync settings and file Explorer settings.

Usually the 120 GB can serve well enough.

Thanks for suggestion. Normally I would consider larger drive install. Considering the 'overhead' that Ai must take today it would seem to make some sense to have more space. That said, I don't understand why Windows seems not to take advantage of my 64gb memory and two GTX980 boards to speed some things up. Updates, etc. are slow. Back in the 'good ol' days' a large ram drive made things seem instantaneous.... . I know, buy a new machine...

That is not much todo with AI. Windows 11 is most modular.
If you need a very compact version then consider GitHub Tiny11.ps1.
You can also upgrade your rig with a larger SSD, they are not expensive.
NVMe (via sabrent PCI-E to NVMe Adapter) would be an option but since you have two 980, the PCI-E slots are blocked. Is there a specific reason why using the Insider version? It has more experimental features and eventually debug code.
