Windows 10: When upgrading Windows 10 directly to Windows 11, the available space on drive C was 30GB,...

When upgrading Windows 10 directly to Windows 11, the available space on drive C was 30GB, but the system reported insufficient storage space.What should I do?

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.

 

Available space of C drive is low - Windows 10.

My C drive capacity is 150Gb, but the available space is just 30Gb. When I selected all the files in C drive, they sum up to 66Gb.

What happened to rest 54Gb? What would be cause for this, and what would be the solution to get the space back?

Thanks !!

 

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:
