If on one computer the windows OS was installed two years ago, and on the other, say, just yesterday... assuming both machines have the exact configuration hardware-wise. and that both machines are up to date with the windows-update feature. would the two C:\Windows folders be the same size on the two machines?

Edit: My windows partition grew up so big it can barely fit anymore. Within windows there is this "installer" folder that's huge in space. I was wondering, if I format the partition, reinstall windows 7, would that help, or would the windows folder be just as big after all the updates have been applied? – Ted 20 hours ago delete

No. All of the effects and remnants of the intermediate updates over the last two years would be on the older one, but not the newer one. The C:\Windows\Temp folder is one obvious example of differences.

However, if the OS was installed 2 years ago and then the computer was immediately turned off until yesterday, then possibly yes.

No necessarily, it depends on if they also have the same features and roles. Why do you ask, what actual problem are you trying to solve?
