  2. Windows 10 upgrade rant..

    The free space shouldn't prevent you from upgrading to built 1607. I manually upgraded my own laptop which had only 9gigs free space left on the system drive.

    I unzipped the Windows 10 Pro anniversary edition ISO on my D drive, and started the upgrade process from there. At one point the installer complained about not having enough free space on the main drive, i just had to point it to the D drive to proceed to the next step. Now the rollback installation is stored there and doesn't clog up the C drive anymore.

    In your case you could insert a large sdcard to act as the required rollback drive, i'm pretty sure it would do the trick.

    Oh and by the way, if you want to further compress your System files:
    • do a search Command Prompt, right-click it, and select Run as administrator.
    • Type COMPACT.EXE /CompactOS:always and hit Enter.
    You'll will gain anything from 2 to 4 gigs free space after it's done.

    rollback windows 10

    Hi,

    This issue may occur if the $Windows.~BT and $Windows.~WS folders have been deleted. These folders are required to perform the rollback operation.

    Try deleting the recently installed update by following the steps below:

    • Go to Control Panel.
    • Click Programs.
    • Select Programs and Features.
    • Click View installed updates.
    • Select the update and click Uninstall.

    Let us know if you need further help.

  4. Rollback to 10

    Win 10 rollback issue

    Hi,

    If you are experiencing multiple issues during the installation of a new feature update, or right after it was installed, you have the option to go back to its previous version. You can follow these steps to rollback to your previous Windows 10 build:

    • Press Windows icon + I.
    • Click Update & security.
    • Select Recovery.
    • Click on the Get started button under Go back to an earlier build section. The process will start and you will be asked some questions for information purposes.

    For detailed instructions and additional procedures on how you can perform this option, see this forum article:

    How to Use the Rollback Function in Windows 10 1709, 1703 and Earlier Versions of Windows 10.


    Let us know if you need further assistance. Don't hesitate to reach us back.
