    Windows won't let me update


    I recently purchased an external SSD and was hoping to install the latest Windows 10 updates on my PC. When I try to do this, however, it says: "Updates are available, but we temporarily need some space to download. Remove some things you don't need right now and we'll try again."


    Notes:

    • I'm trying to install it on the hard drive the laptop came with doesn't have a lot of space only 29.1 GB
    • I thought windows could update when I bought the SSD because, in the update assistant, it says to get an external drive with at least 11 GB of storage.

    :)

    Windows updates won't install!

    I had the same problem when i repaired my O/S, i forgot the steps on how to fixed it, but it is in the microsoft support forum.

    You have to reinstall the windows updater, then restart the updating service.
