  1. Media Creation Tool - Unable to instal ISO on USB, not enough disk space


    Hi, i've been trying to use the windows 10 media creation tool to download the windows 10 installation media to a USB with 14gb of memory.


    I keep being told my the media creation tool that i need 8gb of space on my local disk and it doesnt give me the option to install it on my usb or on a different drive. It's impossible for me to get it that low. I've tried ccleaner, disk cleanup, iobit uninstaller with no luck. I don't have anything installed besides the cleaning tools, a browser, and my antivirus.


    The point of me downloading the installation media to my usb, is to completely wipe my computer with DBAN so i can re-install windows. I've tried using the reset option on my PC and i don't have enough space to even do that.


    Earlier i had about 8 gb free but then i tried to update windows and it ate up 6gb somehow and the install failed.


    Here's a pic of my drives and media creation tool telling me i dont have enough space. Thanks for any help youre able to provide.

  2. Windows 10 media creation tool tells “need 8GB free disk space”

    Hi - the Windows 10 media creation tool tells me I need 8GB of disk space but I have a 64GB USB drive it does not seem to see. Any suggestions? I am trying to install on ASUS Eeebook X205TA with 7GB free on the machine.

    Thanks

    disk space reduced after media creation tool

    Hi Sarah,

    One of the possible reasons why your disk space was reduced is due to an unallocated disk space on your partitions. For us to isolate your concern, we suggest that you check your device's partition. To do this, follow the steps provided below:

    • Type Computer Management on Ask me anything and press
      Enter.
    • Select Storage and click on Disk Management.
    • Send us a screenshot.
    We look forward to your response.
