Slightly confused and cannot seem to find a definitive answer.

You require the following for a clean installation of Windows 7:

• 32-bit: 16GB
• 64-bit: 20GB

But, ProfessorMesser states on this video that you only require 15GB for a clean installation when Dual-Booting?

That doesn't make sense to me. Can somebody explain?

hmmm good point, I remember picking up on him saying that but just accepted that it must be true lol

 

From an exam point of view your stated requirements are correct:

Windows 7 system requirements - Microsoft Windows

Not sure what the prof messer video is talking about though...

 

Cheers chaps.

I've checked the MS Press Book and their hardware requirements are skewed as well:
