Those are identical installations otherwise?
I have a small Win10 installation here that is 21 GB, on a real machine.

I just checked; the 'Windows' folder is reported as 15,3GB in size, with the 'WinSxS' folder inside holding 8,3GBytes, in almost 100.000 files...
I think 'WinSxS' is kindof linked together and the reported size could actually be wrong, but i am no expert.  :o

Yes, that shaved off a few gigs. But Windows 10 will eventually grow just like Windows 7 was, when it gets older.
