Windows 10: Cannot update Windows 10 due to Free space

Split from this thread.​

Hi Sumit


I've got the same problem but the Media creation tool solution isn't working for me. I don't have enough disk space on my hard drive and no, I can't delete any more stuff - long story!, and I'm not getting the option to save the ISO file onto a flash drive that DOES have enough space.

I've been trying to get this update installed for months now and it's driving me mad!!

I would SO grateful for any further advice.

:)

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
