You can probably get away allocating less than 30GB to Windows 7, but it will leave very little room to install anything in Windows. • An hour if all goes well, up to 5 hours if not • Though not absolutely required, it’s a VERY good idea to have a complete and up to date Time Machine backup of OS X – it really came in handy for me.
