    I disabled:
    - Indexing
    - System Restore
    - Swap
    - Hibernate

    And this screenshot shows it all, all my basic office programs, my dropbox filled with my mission critical work stuff.

    And ~8GB of space to spare!

    To those wondering, there is a day-to-night difference between pure SSD and cached SSD.

    Doubt it, W8.1 takes more space, and even if you could do it, you would need a clean install.
