Can someone tell us whether I can do a clean install of Windows 7 On the Asus E200HA? I have spent days and weeks trying to install the latest updates. I had a perfectly good little laptop until the 1709 update came out. Now it is unsecure and near useless. I can not even do a recovery to enable me to sell it. Appalling Microsoft!
Windows 10 Upgrade an ASUS Laptop (32G storage)
My ASUS E200H laptop is pre-installed with Win 10 but only has 32G storage with an additional 32G micro SD card.
The Win 10 upgrade is demanding an additional 8G storage which I cannot do, therefore the upgrade will not download. I cannot make the download directly to the SD card.
How can I upgrade?
Thanks

Hi Perry,
The upgrade from something else to Win 10 seems to have provided the option to connect an external memory or device.
My laptop came with Win10 version 1511 that expired in oktober 2017. The update to a newer version is impossible. If I delete everything I almost get 6 gig free space but it needs 8.
Now, if it would work, I would not bother but the dhcp fuction doesn't get an IP address anymore and that's a bug in the old Win10. The only way it works is to put an IP address in there manually. That trick works at home but I don't need it at home :-) It is ment for traveling and last week I had an ultrafast high speed connection in Holland but no internet, also not with an ethernet cable. I had to use my phone to check my mails.
So probably a new laptop will be needed. This one is 1.5 years old and like new.... It's crazy.

2018-05-03T04:20:27+00:00 Hi Perry - reading the thread of emails above it seems that getting the install to work only creates further problems! I don't want the "blue screen of death" every 30 minutes! Like someone else I bought this Notebook to travel with - a kind of LITE version of my normal Dell laptop. I don't need it to run high end graphic games, or do major computational analysis. I just wanted something larger than a smartphone to check my emails, edit Word & Excel documents and to be able to share files via a USB stick (not through the cloud like iPad users have to!) It came with Win 8.1 and I could have managed with that but the buggers forced the update to Win 10 and this is the consequence....
Dawn in frustration :(
