bootcamp partition size for windows10

What is a good estimate for the size of the BootCamp partition for Windows 10 creators version?


Ideally I'd like maximum size allocated to Mac OS Sierra and minimum size for Windows.

I will use separate external drives for both Mac and Windows to store user files.

Unless Iv missed it there is no information on calculating the partition size any where in Apples resources, this is all there is:

Format your Windows partition

When you complete the assistant, your Mac restarts to the Windows installer. When you're asked where you want to install Windows, select the BOOTCAMP partition, then click Format.
