I've got an Intel 240GB SSD and its taking up 140GB. I've installed twice and put on the regular things like antivirus but haven't yet even put on Office. Seems like a lot of space needed to me.

If it has the minimum RAM and hard drive space, you can.
During installation, Windows 7 will need about 16GB on a hard drive.
Windows seven home basic, or more commonly known as windows 7 starter is mainly used for netbooks that don't have very much RAM and hard drive space, and alos maybe not as much processing power. If you have a notebook laptop or a desktop PC consider Windows 7 Home Premium. Windows 7 starter lacks some features that home premium has like windows aero's transparency to save RAM and hard drive space for lower end computers.
depends on how much space your hard drive or solid state drive can hold.
A 20GB hard drive with at least 15GB free space.
The "total amount of drive space" is whatever the capacity of your hard drive(s) is.
