    Windows Media Creation Tool - More Space?

    Hello,

    I am attempting to use the Windows Media Creation Tool to build an ISO image. I am using an HP 850G6 laptop with over 275GB free space and I have also provided a freshly formatted 128GB USB thumb drive for optional ISO storage. During verification, the tool states "We need more space." Remove files you no longer need or use disk cleanup to free up space then try again. Since there is 275GB of free space I am not sure why this is failing. I also selected the USB drive and received the same message. The creation tool WILL succeed when creating bootable installation media but always returns the free space message when attempting to create an ISO. Unfortunately I need an ISO to build an image for deployment as the software I'm using requires one. Any suggestions as to what is causing the free space message and how to correct it?

    Issue with temporary files

    Hi Junaid,

    I unhide the files as per the article "Show hidden files" but it does not help to see what takes up to 29GB in my temporary files (settings/system/storage/temporary files).

    The other two methods you mentioned have already been tried without success.

    Regards,

    Guy

    creation of windows 10 media

    Hi Jithesh,



    You might face this issue if the downloaded setup file is corrupted.



    • Did you try to download the setup again?
    • Did you try to upgrade through Windows Update?


    First, I would suggest you to try updating through Windows Update and check if you are able to upgrade to Windows 10. If you are unable to upgrade through Windows Update, then I would suggest you to download the Windows 10 ISO again and save it locally
    on the desktop and then try to run the upgrade.

    Let us know the results.
