the windows installer 2.4 will only install on 128gb?

Why,will this be a problem?

Q4OS for Windows installer provides an installation size greater than 30GB. Installation sizes are selectable in 1GB steps up to 32GB. Sizes over 32GB are 64GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB depending on the target drive size. But it is possible to create other sizes with parameter --size. e.g.

q4os-winsetup.exe --size=120000

sets an installation size of 120GB

This is smaller than 128GB.

I a have large SSD that I bought for dual booting with Linux.What is the maximum installation size that the
Windows installer will install ?

The windows installer should be able to install at 512GB as maximum size, however it will detect the actual free disk space and offer some percentage of that space as maximum available.

q4os-winsetup.exe --size=512000

You will need to free at least 1GB of space on the target windows drive. You could also read guides below, as Q4OS winsetup is derived from the wubiuefi project:

I think you might need to use

q4os-winsetup.exe --size=512000000

to use 512Gb

@Dai_trying
The '--size' parameter is "installation size in MB" according to WubiUefi documentation https://github.com/hakuna-m/wubiuefi/wiki/FAQ , see "How can I run Wubiuefi with parameters ?" section. So the command should be actually as quoted in #7 https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.ph … 835#p13835
