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

    Just wanted to share my experience. I have an ASUS laptop E200HA with 32G hard drive.

    (So I made the same mistake as most people on this thread by buying this damn thing for my wife.)

    I managed to update to version 1803 successfully and still have free 9G on (C) drive.

    1. Using a different PC, I downloaded Media Creation Tool from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
    2. Using the tool, I made a (bootable) USB 16G flash drive (formatted in NTFS). 

    Alternatively, you can download a ISO file, unpack it, and copy to the flash drive.

    (It won't be bootable, but you will not need that feature.)

    1. I moved all my files to a SD card, but I left a few applications on the main (C) drive

    including Office 2000, Chrome, e-mail client, and Adobe Acrobat.

    1. I inserted my USB flash drive and double clicked the setup.exe file.

    I chose the option to keep all my files, apps, and setting.

    It told me that I had enough free memory (10G) on the USB drive, but I needed

    about 4G free memory on drive (C), which as you know is hard to find. 

    This is how I found it.

    I went to (C) -> Windows -> SoftwareDistribution -> Download

    and emptied it. I was allowed to proceed with installation.

    1. Installation went fine without any problems. It took a long time, perhaps, 7 or 8 hours. I deleted Windows.old folder and now have about 9G free on (C)

    That's all.

    Good luck,

    Alex
