    How do I use a USB or external HD to install windows updates on a 27 GB SSD?


    Hi,


    I have a Lenovo note pad running Win 10 pro 64. It has a 32 GB SSD and only 9 GB of free space. Windows automatic update won't install Features update to Windows 10, version 1803 amd64 2019-04. I've run the clean disk file and deleted all non-critical files I can but can't come up with the space required for the update. Is there anyway to install the update using a 64 GB USB drive?

    :)

  2. migrate Win 10 V 1607 From HD to SSD

    ok I read a lot of things and it is not working on win 10 V-1607

    so I need step by step help to complete this

    first I got an Acer desktop with HD 1TB

    with about 150 GB of data

    and I just installed an SSD 240 GB

    now I already formatted the SSD and get 223 GB free

    also I already done a recover USB key 32 GB

    my best bet now I guess is to do a clean install of win 10 to the SSD

    I can transfer my data afterward

    so do i need to erase the SSD and how ?

    then do I need to disconnect the HD

    then re start and go into the boot program with delete key ?

    any help is appreciated

    thanks

    have a nice day

    And that's it, boot off your usb disk
