You need at least 50-60 GB for W10 - How to install Windows using Boot Camp - Apple Support . You may need more depending on memory installed on your specific model.

IMHO you need at least 100GB for Windows 10 and your Windows data. If you are not going to use Windows 10 for anything then a little less can be assigned to Windows.

depend on what you will be using I took a 2tb disc and divided it into 2 1tb for windows and 1tb for osx
if you want to play games on windows then it will need storage
