Is 150GB SSD Insufficient?

So I have a bit of an older PC that has around 150 GB SSD. According to the minimum requirements and what I've heard from others it should be enough. However, when I reach 100% Download, sometimes earlier, the following popup shows up:

"There is insufficient disk space to complete the operation. Please free up 90.02 GB of space and restart the launcher."

When I go and check the SSD it shows 14 GB of free space left. Of the other 136 GB the AOC folder only takes up 70 GB.

Any advice on how to solve this?

    I think you might be having issues with the unpacking process, which sometimes requires slightly more than the app initially asks for.

    This is especially important if your SSD is the only source of storage on your PC.

    I see. Do you know then if it's possible to seperate the unpacking process?

    No clue.

    At the risk of sounding entitled, storage is cheaper than it's ever been, and it's one of the most undeniably useful upgrades, if you're storage-limited (and assuming you don't have a terabyte wasted on unnecessary files you were meant to clean up.)
    The only one who can validate you for all the posts you didn't write is you.

    Even if 150 GB were enough today, the nature of an MMORPG means it wouldn't be enough for very long.

    Totally valid point (imo). My problem is that the big storage I have is a secondary HDD which doesn't help since AOC requires SSD. And the only SSD I have is the main drive that also hosts Windows.

    I now got 1TB of external SSD with 4MB of reading & writing speed. Patching seems to work so far, although slower. I'll have to see how it works for running the game itself.
