    Greetings
    does win10 update assistant shortcut has to be on desktop?
    can the folder be deleted from C?
    will I get later updates if I delete the folder?
    this is the first time the assistant appeared.
    I got many updates for win10 pro upon shutting down and/or starting up
    thanks

    :)

  2. Windows 10 haven't updated to version 1511 --- How to find product key

    I haven't run the ISO disk as of yet, I want the current product key in hand, on a post it note, prior to doing that, not interested in MS bullS**T about it not being needed. 2 hours online with tech support and they can't cope with the question of how
    can the current product key be accessed in windows 10.

    I've never owned a Apple product, but I can never see buying or having another MS product in my household after this.

    NOT THE ONLY ONE

  3. How to Install Windows 10 on Devices with Limited Space

    Even though I have an external device with more than 40 Gb capacity and the assistant recognizes it, it still keeps asking me to free 5 more Gb from the (unit Cwindows 10 update assistant :).

    I have 3'62 Gb free memory in (Unit Cwindows 10 update assistant :). It asks me to free 5'63 Gb more. That'll make a total of 9'25 GB. The assistant needs 9'80 GB free memory to update windows 10 without any external device. Does this mean that my external device will only be used
    for 0'55 GB? Please I don't understant anything. I just want my laptop to work. I'd stay with my actual version but it keeps showing me ads, interrupting my work and deleting random stuff because of uninterruptible random updates. It has already freed 3 GB
    and I dont even know where from.

    Thank you.

    windows 10 update assistant

    The Windows 10 Update assistant normally shows up only on older Windows 10 versions in need of an upgrade. What version of Windows are you running, anyway? Here are answers to your various questions, reworded slightly for grammar and capitalization:

    Does the win10 update assistant shortcut have to be on the desktop? No it doesn't.
    Can the folder be deleted from C? Yes it can be deleted if you don't want to use it.
    Will I get later updates if I delete the folder? Yes you will (it only handles major version upgrades in particular, not updates in general)

    HTH,
    --Ed--

    PS: This forum is for posting news, not for asking general questions. Don't be surprised when one of the moderators moves it to a different forum, probably the one for installation and upgrade. @Brink

    Noticed this thread is already marked as solved.
    For the future how do I mark it as solved?
    tried context menu and didn't find anything
    is it at the end of the thread where "mark unsolved" is found?
    thanks

    Correct. The button will say "Mark as solved" instead of "Mark Unsolved".
