I was on the Windows7, did not install successfully, so not much comment, probably because I just repaired VS2015 computer did not restart.
Disk size after installation
In Windows10, I installed several components required by Unity + several common widgets, about 1.4G of disk usage
In Windows7, I was installing the 2 components + that unity must have at the same time. NET Desktop development components (Wpf,winform, console), about 3.7G of disk usage

If you open the required components for the project, and the current VS is not installed, VS will automatically eject the interface that lets you install as follows:
If you want to manually add new features and cannot find Visual Studio Installer, then you can open the download vs installer to make changes, such as my: Vs_enterprise__2144843982.1466598399.exe, Run the Select changes to add the components you need.
Use feeling
Compare the other versions of VS to talk about my personal feelings of use
