    Hello, I'm trying to fix my 32 gb Windows 10 laptop and I feel that a factory reset is the only option but when I try to it say Additional space needed but I cannot clear anything my else because it is factory. I know all passwords but I don't know command propt stuff? Is the anything I can enter to reset it? How would I did this?

    • Aside from failing at 30%-32%, are you also getting an error message or code?

  4. Windows 10 factory reset additional space needed

    Factory reset... now missing 40+ GB of hard drive space?

    Good evening everyone!

    So, I just got finished doing a nice fresh factory reset as Windows did some updates and my computer run slower than molasses in January.

    After it was done, I had some 60-70 (out of 118) GB of free space on my SSD.

    Short story shorter I had to do it again.

    Now I have only 26 GB of free space.

    Can anyone make any suggestions please? Windows 10 factory reset additional space needed :)
