Windows 10: SSD problems

I am not sure if this is a Windows question or not but can't find anything else. I am trying to update my offsite backup app Acronis but get a message saying there is not enough room on the C drive to place the exe. This is because the C Drive is an SSD which is full of the operating system and other programs put there for some reason by Dell who set up the machine when I bought it. I had the same trouble with a Microsoft upgrade a while ago - and the alternative of doing it from the D drive didn't seem to work. Acronis claim the upgrade can't be done from the D drive because since they need admin access. So we seem to have a problem. SSDs I am sure all over the world are probably full or near full but software developers seem to need to do upgrades form there and to load their new files there because they need Admin. Is this true? A related question is can I move some of the program files from the C drive to the D Drive without causing problems. If so how. Just copy and paste to the D Drive Programs folder?

Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.

 

SSD Crucial Bx 100 - rattling/vibrating. Possible?

This has been suggested several times already, and it has been suggested you try to move the SSD, remove it, or even suspend it in your case. Will you please try one of these?

If you don't understand vibration and resonance, please refer to @dorsetknob 's post above. *Smile It has been explained that something else moving/vibrating (even if you don't think they're vibrating they are...), fans, hard disk drives, and anything with a motor will cause some form of vibration at certain frequencies. This can be transfered through your case's chassis and where you mounted your SSD could be reaching a certain frequency that causes it to slightly move and rattle against the case.

We are suggesting you take action and report back..you keep asking questions from step 1...we should be on step 4 by now...that is solution.

Try what has been suggested and report back please. Otherwise all you're doing is leading this thread in an endless circle and the help will stop shortly thereafter.

Uninstall problem

Thank you for your reply.
Problem is I don't know which one to delete because they don't show drive letter. see att below.
Both SSD,s are the same configured sizes. W10 is online all the time even though I am in W8.1
