Windows 10 Upgrade Error - Not Enough Space

[WafflePi]

Hi! Im trying to install windows 10 final on my ASUS x205ta, but the problem being that it has a 32GB ssd, and there is nothing on it but the OS, yet i still have the error of it saying there is not enough space, what should i do?If i get the ISO and install it that way will i still run into these problems? Plus i dont know my product key since it is a free upgrade and windows offered it to me? Is there any way to do this? I hate windows 8 and much prefer windows 10, thanks to anybody who can help, merry christmas!

You must reduce the used space on that drive.
You're trying to Upgrade from Win 8 to Win 10?

A large part of your used space is almost certainly in the C/Windows/Installer....a bunch of .msp files
Copy most of those elsewhere, and then delete off the C partition. Do NOT just delete them.

Also, whatever else you can move off that drive. Movies, music, downloads...

Bottom line....you MUST reduce the used space on your 32GB drive.

I know, but i just got this computer, ive uninstalled all the bloatware, and pretty much everything, even the other language files, and when you say copy the msp files do you mean put them back after i install windows 10?

Obtain the Win 10 ISO
Create your install USB install media

Boot from that, and install Win 10.
Select Keep Nothing.


I had to do this with my ASUS Transformer (32GB drive)
