Ramesh,
We may be at a stopping point. When I did the installation, I was given a message to free 30 GB of space, which I did to continue the installation. I'm not sure why now I only have 26 GB. If I continue to uninstall programs, I might as well just do a clean install. Is there another option?
Thanks,

Hi,
The setup may have downloaded dynamic updates, thus requiring more space.
You can free up more space in the OS partition by doing the following:
- Turn off hibernation by running "powercfg /hibernate off" (from admin Command Prompt) if you don't use the feature.
- Do a component store cleanup by running "dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup" from admin Command Prompt.
- Run Disk Cleanup as administrator. Enable all checkboxes and click OK to do an overall cleanup.
- Turn off System Restore or reduce the space allocated for it. You can do so by running "systempropertiesprotection.exe". Select the OS partition and click "Configure".
- Move your user folders, such as Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Music, and Videos, to another partition or drive. To move a shell folder, for example, Documents, right-click the Documents folder and select Properties. On the Location tab, click the Move button.
