Windows 10: Windows 10 update on 32GB solid state hard drive tablet/"2 in 1"

I have a 32GB solid state drive HP 2-in-1 tablet/convertible with keyboard PC. It dates from April 2018, so under 3 years old. I cannot get the OS to update due to lack of memory/space. I have even tried using the creator tool on USB stick with the PC set to boot from USB, but ot fails as it identifies the PC as having 4 different drives, none of which are available for the OS update as they are "reserved", plus it gives the free space on each as just a few MB. I don't care if everything is over-written, I basically only use it to access the internet and apart from the originally supplied software it only has Acrobat reader and Chrome bowser installed. How can I get this PC to be updated to the latest "H2" version of Windows 10?

Moving windows from a hard drive to a solid state drive

i have windows 10 installed on my 1tb western digital blue hdd right now it. My computer came with windows 10 pre installed and id like to move it from the hard drive it originally came on to a solid state drive i bought recently but from what ive gathered
on apparently for some reason there is no way to just transfer all windows files from my hard drive to my solid state so that i am able to boot windows from my solid state. so from what ive gathered the best way to do this would be to reinstall windows and
choose my solid state as the download location. but i do not have a windows disk as my computer came with windows pre installed so i believe id have to use the windows media creation tool and either burn it to a disk or create a usb. but i do not have a product
key to activate windows after doing so because my windows is from the OEM so im wondering if i will have to activate my windows or will it automatically recognize that my computer has an OEM key attached to it. there is no sticker or card that came with the
computer so i assume the key is attached to my hardware someway or another. so if i use the media creation tool to create a usb for a clean windows 10 install to my solid state will i have to activate windows or will it be automatic and can i keep all my other
files on my hard drive with no problems? this is a very confusing just to get windows from one drive to another, i just want to be able to boot from my solid state, will i have to redownload programs if the are already on my hard drive? i plan to keep the
hard drive for storage and just put a few things including my OS onto the solid state, for reference my hard drive is a 1tb WD blue and my solid state is a crucial mx500 500gb my computer is an hp omen 870-224

 

Samsung releases 32GB solid state hard drive

Samsung has taken the wraps off the first consumer 32GB solid state hard drive. It has the usual 1.8" form factor, and is meant to replace traditional drives in notebooks. The drive can read data at 57 MB/s and write it at 32 MB/s, which would make it twice as fast as traditional hard drives. It is not only light weight (15g), but is noiseless, and it uses around 5% of the power compared to a normal drive. There seem to be no draw backs, but I am sure the drive won't be cheap, still perfect for UMPCs from intel if you ask me.

Upgrading to a solid state drive

I am considering upgrading to a Solid State Drive.

I have two basic questions that I hope someone can help me with.

• I am running Windows 10 Professional. It was the free upgrade offered for Win 7 users. If I upgrade will I have any problems reinstalling/switching to the new SSD? Is there anything I should be aware of before upgrading?
• I have upgraded hard drives many times over the years but this is my first Solid State upgrade. In the past I was always upgrading to a larger drive. Drive software always allowed me to clone to a larger drive. This time, I will be using a smaller SSD for
  my operating system, 250 GB. My current Sata drive is 1 Tb. How do I proceed? If I simply install the smaller SSD, how do I get windows 10 on the drive? Do I install my original Windows 7 operating system and upgrade again? Will that work again? Or is there
  a way to get the Win 10 license key and install Win 10 and use that key. If so, how do I get that key.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
