    Well, in case you want to revert than don't. If you have enough space for now you can keep it until you are sure, it will be deleted automatically in 30 days. It's clearly largest part, contains most of your past installation and that's why it's so large. How much free space do you have ? Need at least 10% or 10 GB free for proper windows function.

    Yes you can as long as it is on the same system you activated 10 on. The focus is on MB, no other parts matter. No hurry though, you have a month from date of upgrade to do it. Actually you can go back to W7 even after that but would have to do clean install.

    I notice that when i am using Win10, free space got used up very fast. May i know what is the cause of it? What should i delete to get back space?

    Mostly updates and upgrades. Should be enough to use Disk cleanup now and than. I also like and use Download UnCleaner - MajorGeeks for occasional sweep. Turn off other stuff if you don't need it, things like hibernate and restore points. They can be space hogs.

    To kill hibernate open Command prompt (as administrator) and give this command: powercfg.exe /hibernate off
    To limit space for restore go to Control panel > System > System protection > and set restore point size for C:. any other disk or partition turn off.
