Windows 10: No Space for wind10 upgrade

Hi


Have a ideapad110s, which has only a small harddrive so cannot take the latest upgrade. Have a 1tb external drive plugged but but upgrade needs space on C? How do you force th use of a d drive?

My windows 10 upgrade consumes all of it's drive c: space (50 GB)

• My windows 10 upgrade consumes all of it's drive c: space (50 GB)
• I am unable to install the update,
• I suspect the windows 10 need this much space and it is some kind of glitch,
• Please suggest a way to free up some space as I don't prefer to format partition C:

Space requirement for Windows 10 upgrade from Windows 8.1 on 60gb ssd

Hi



I suggest you to disable hibernation for time being till you upgrade to Windows 10. After disabling hibernation the space taken by hiberfil.sys would be cleared.

After it is cleared you may run the disk clean up.

And then try to upgrade to windows 10 from here:

Download Windows 10:



Follow the steps to disable hiberfil.sys from windows 10.

• 
  Click "Search" and type "Command Prompt" without quotes.
  
• 
  Right-click the "Command Prompt" item and click "Run as administrator."
  
• 
  In this elevated command prompt window, enter: powercfg -h off
  

Hope this helps,

Regards
