Microsoft has trumpeted the smaller size of Windows 10 1909, the fall feature upgrade that broke the twice-annual mold the company used in 2017 and 2018.
But how much smaller is it?According to members of the Insider team who held an online discussion Thursday, a lot smaller.The so-called "enablement package," the download that when installed transforms Windows 10 1903 - the full-featured upgrade released May 21 - into November's 1909, weighs in at just 180KB, as in kilobytes.[ Related: Windows 10 November 2019 Update: Key enterprise features ](For context, 180KB is about 0.18MB, or less than 20% of a megabyte.
More telling, it's about 10 times the size of a two-page Microsoft Word document.
Downloading a 180KB file would be seemingly instantaneous on all but the slowest broadband connection; a torpid 1Mbps connection, for instance, would download that file in about one second.)
