Windows 10: Unable to Update Tablet to Latest WIN 10

I have an Insignia Tablet that, unfortunately, didn’t come with a large stoage capacity; 16GB. I have a 16GB microSD with it as well. It has a 32-bit OS, x64-based processor, and 1GB of RAM. I know, that’s not a whole lot of storage but I bought this tablet approximately 5 years ago and it’s been a great tablet.


I haven’t had issues updating to the latest versions of Windows, until now. I have cleaned my PC, restored the darn thing to factory settings; with no avail. When I looked at what is taking up my storage, over half is the system! Ugh! I have connected my PC to an external 1TB hard drive and get almost done but then it says I still need 3.2GB of space on the PC.


If anyone has some tips, I’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Win 10 build 10240 to Threshold 2 update problem on 16G tablet


Thanks, that is a very comprehensive list of suggestions. However, I have done almost all of the steps you've listed...except uninstalling the apps. Even if I deleted virtually all my installed apps (most were installed on the D drive anyway, except for the ones that would only install on C), it may leave just barely enough room to get to the 5G needed for the install...but then where would I be.....an operating system running on a tablet, with hardly any apps on it....an anchor! The problem with apparently no answer is WinSxS!

It seems that even though Win 10 will install and run on the small little 16G tablets, they can not be updated over a period of time as the Windows and WinSxS folder continue to grow out of bounds. Thus leaving a 16G C drive device fairly useless for any useful purpose. The only option (it appears), is to do a fresh reformat and install, with every new Win 10 upgrade down the line, thus starting with a small WinSxS each time, instead of one that balloons with every program install and software upgrade.

Any other ideas, greatly accepted....thanks all!

 

Linx 10 Tablet - Recently updated to latest Win 10 (Threshold) update, restarted my tablet and it is unresponsive

Hello Barnett,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

From the description provided, I understand that the windows tablet device is unable to go past the Login screen where you have to use the login credentials.

As an initial recommendation, I would suggest you to try to log-in by temporarily connecting a keyboard & mouse. If it does then the issue is related with drivers.

If it does not, try to check if you are able to get into Windows Recovery Environment to try further troubleshooting steps.

Write to us with the updated results and we would be happy to help you.

Thank you.
