    Windows 10 not letting me update it with external hardrive

    Hello,

    I currently have Windows 10 on my HP Stream Notebook PC 13. For some reason it wont let me intall the Upgrade to Windows 10 Home, version 1511, 10586. I have been using my Toshiba external hardrive to intall updates and back up my files. My external hardrive
    shows up and works with the computer, but when I go to upgrade it, it doesn't give me the option to use an external hardrive to update it! I need help... How do I make that option show up?

    I can't eject my external hardrives safely using "safe to remove" option

    Hey all, am facing an issue for a few weeks just after the creators update. I actually cant eject my external hardrives (this case my WD 1TB hardrive). This happens not to pendrives until 64GB of capacity. This happens with External hardrives,RAID or NAS
    kind of storages. I hope this issue will be fixed soon !!!
