Hi guys.

So I'm trying to install W10 64bits. My C drive is really small, a 64GB SSD with like 7-8GB left.

After downloading the OS, I receive the ''Setup failed to initialize the working directory'', which after some research, seems to be about the fact that I don't have enough space.

So, is it possible to download W10 on one of my other drives? If so, how?

Thanks!

You may need to uninstall some programs that are installed on your SDD; I believe that it needs at least 20gb of free-space to do the installation. If you've uninstalled everything that you can, and still have not met the requirement:
Reduce your page file size and reboot.
Delete SOME previous restore points.
Run Disk Cleanup on your C: drive.
There are a few more, but can't think of them right now...
Delete all .tmp files, etc.
Delete *.dmp files.
Hello... Down Loading is a simple as "Save As..." option... and directing it to your other drives.
DO you have the ISO on your SSD yet... you could burn a DVD with it, or copy it to your hardrives or USB stick first before doing anything else... so you don't have to download it again.
