Windows 10 Upgrade an ASUS Laptop (32G storage)

Anonymous

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

    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).

    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! !!

    "Thus, you'd better replace hard drive to larger one first. Then, you can upgrade your computer again."

    Most Asus Vivobooks use onboard eMMC as storage device, often 32GB or 64Gb.

    This is soldered on the motherboard and therefore irreplaceable.

    Recent models often don't have a second sata option.

    Microsoft 's new builds causes a lot of problems for us moderate, or even the skilled, MS users.

    I do not understand the need for a new Build every half year:

    Every time it comes with problems, restores settings(also privacy ones) and needs fixes.

    Then after a couple of months most problems have been fixed, a new build causes the whole process all over.

    As people often ask me for computer help I noticed that at first they were positive about the new Windows 10,

    but now they get confused and frustrated.

    Asking me why Microsoft uses this new big build update system, for Windows 7 did not have these problems.

    I really don't know, hope someone can explain in simple words?

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

    Good luck to others!"

    Me neither...

    I have the same problem, I was told by my friend that you should uninstall the windows 10 update that you currently have and then install the newest version of Windows and if that doesn't work, then I am sorry for wasting your time**.**
