Windows 10 Upgrade an ASUS Laptop (32G storage)

For anyone that has purchased this laptop from a Windows Store; i've had this 32gb ASUS laptop about 1.5 years and i am getting this same damn upgrade request and problems as mentioned here in this thread.

I went back to the windows store on the weekend and they have advised that they will handle doing the fresh install for me as long as i don't mind if everything is erased... not like there was room to save any thing on this POS anyways. 

I'll let you guys know how it goes; the product adviser said they will try to install the newest windows 10 on it with the latest updates and see if that helps. Its free of charge; and i'll keep you guys updated if this fixes anything.

The windows store i went to is in Calgary, AB Canada.

Thanks 

Sadly, I don't have a techno geek friend, but our local computer shop had the knowledge. It cost me £50 but I just gave up. So long as you don't mind losing the ASUS bolt-ons, you need to use the media creation tool on another pc to create the bootable update then change the BIOS so that the ASUS boots from the ext memory card, then do a clean install, electing to purge the old drive (at least that is what they ssid). I might try it again for the Spring update! !!

Please can you explain how the above process is possible with a USB stick if it converts it back to FAT? I have tried this with an SD card and the windows media creation tool gives no option for where the ios is stored and then says insufficient space on the main drive.

Download as the ISO file, do not choose the create the USB installer option ( you can create the USB installer later if you want to have one), using the previously downloaded ISO file by using a free utility to do so. RUFUS is a popular (and good) such utility to use in such cases (if you so choose/want/need).

A techno geek friend of mine has done this for me too.   I wanted to revert to Windows 7 (and had disks) but the insidious nature of Win 10 overrode the process and after saying it would revert, it wiped all my add-on software and installed a new Windows 10. 

I now have the latest and greatest version of windows 10  - no more Update Assistant messages and after re-installing all my software I even have spare disk space (9GB from 42GB).  

I had resigned myself to the fact that I should embrace Win 10 (as Win 7 will no longer be supported in 2020) but I didn't like the way it was forced on me.

It is worth the effort in the end but I cannot believe how complicated it was to get there.

Good luck to others!
