Windows 10 Upgrade an ASUS Laptop (32G storage)

But the info on how to install a WIN 10 update using an external connected flash drive to the PC  computer will work as long as one can keep the host PC powered on.

Hey Richard, Dan

Thanks for your help. I'm one of the lucky ones that did actually manage to update (with a auror to your suggestion). The laptop now had the latest version of Windows 10, unfortunately, our problem now is that the laptop is so unstable following the update that it's practically unuseable. The update has left it with so little space on the disk that it frequently crashes to blue screen while being used, and that's after the internal disk was completely formatted and a clean install. We have an additional 64GB card installed (which has a drive letter and we can copy files to/from it) bit it doesn't seem to help the system. There's a chance the blue screen could be driver issue but the error message says it's out of disk space (although that could be a red herring).

I've been busy lately so I've not had time to look at it, but I'm going to try an older version of Windows, to see if that works better. 

Fingers crossed!

We finally managed to get th th laptop to update.

Using an additional SD cars didn't work, no matter what we tried (even though it was reciognised as a drive with a drive letter). Had to buy a USB stick and download the media creation tool and make a bootable usb stick from that. Then rebooted using the recovery menu (hotkey to get into bios wasnt working).

From the advanced startup menu i selected to boot from usb. Was told i doedid have enough space even though the only thing on the hard drive was windows. Had to completely format the drive and delete recovery partitions and selcted clean install. That worked. 

The laptop now has the latest version of windows and windows update says there are no more updates to download. Unfortunately, it blue-screens every 30 mins of use due to insufficient memory so it's now totally unusuable. Next, Im going to install windows XP on it, see how that goes. I dont think windows 10 is going to fit on this thing.

I bought my Asus E200H just to see if I should/could update to Windows 10. 

I didn’t want to mess up my ‘working’ computer in the ‘learning’ process.

It didn’t cost much so I can’t complain – but I now do!

Read the previous on this thread – what a load of unnecessary …..

Tried it all – wasted hours and nothing worked!

Always got back to needing 8Gb more – on an updated  ‘blue screen’…..

Not sure who to blame Microsoft or Asus – still don’t know but I may have cracked it.

I added a 32Gb SD card and formatted it to NTFS.  It was recognised by the computer, but on updating, I couldn’t get at it, or use it, when trying ANY of the updating ideas above.

However, I think I am now winning (live on a yacht and downloading is painfully slow – 11% in 15 min!).

I took the SD card out of the slot and put it in a USB stick.

Tried manual update again and suddenly – I get the offer of A or B, where B can select the USB stick. 

I select the USB stick and it’s working I hope – well downloading, but still only on 11%

Please don’t ask me to elucidate further – I lost interest in computing when Basic was introduced; I never thought it would catch on, with my Intelec 8 or Cromenco,  space was too valuable!  How wrong I was!

I think blame seems to point to Asus, but what would I know!

12%...now. Will check later this afternoon.

Do i need a hard drive or can a flash drive work
