    Win 10 Anniversary Update does not show in Windows Update

    i have a windows 10 tablet (10 inch) with just a 32 gig drive.. it managed the last full upgrade okay.. but it did have around 16 gig free..

    you dont really need the upgrade and as long as windows is happy letting you stay on build 1511 i would leave it at that..

    i am just about to buy another 7.5 inch tablet to use as an ebook reader.. it comes dual boot with win 10 and android on it.. it also has the now very common 32 gig solid state drive and for sure wont come with the latest windows build on it.. i will see what happens when i first fire it up.. he he

    i think it all comes down to how much free space you have on the system drive.. enough for windows to do it and it does it.. not enough and it wont.. 32 gig win 10 tablet machines are now quite common.. installing stuff on the micro sd drive such machines come with seems to be the answer.. mine takes up to 128 gig micro sd cards..

    you can also move all the user files and apps to the micro sd drive.. this frees up space on the main system drive.. always leave the sd card in place..

    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
