Visual Studio Professional 2013 requires up to 10GB across all drives...even HP_TOOLS(F:)?

I'm using HP ProBook 4520s and I'm trying to install Visual Studio Professional 2013 on Windows 7. I have not advanced my installation because I reached a window that says, "Setup requires up to 10GB across all drives."

In My Computer I have:

Local Disk (C:) 109 GB free,

HP_TOOLS (F:) 1.48 GB free of 1.98 GB,

and Paging Partition (K:) 12.1 GB free of 14.9 GB.

I assume that if I go ahead with the installation that not all components will install correctly due to the F: drive and the Paging Partition having limited space(it says 12.1GB are free, but maybe in reality 9.99?). So what solutions are available so I can install VS 2013 on my PC? Maybe this?

In your case it will install everything on C: and won't use any space on the other drives.

The warning is aimed at users who want to install to a non-system drive, (ie not the C: drive). In those cases it will install some data to the C: drive and some data to the drive that was selected for installation.

The same seems to apply for Visual Studio 2015 too.

It does not mean you need that space on each drive. That would be stupid. It means it needs that space once and probably some of it on the drive you install too and some of it on your system drive.

Go ahead and install it.
