    It is if that's all the space you want available for restore points.

    how to minimize shadow copy space?

    You could use the "Upgrade to Windows 10" update in Windows Update, but you'll also always be able to upgrade or clean install to Windows 10 with installation media.

    You could use 5, but you would have to enable the service before each time your checked for updates. In addition, when you enabled the service, automatic updates would also be enabled again.

    Using option 4, you wouldn't have to do anything else.
