Hello,

 

On prompted by the system, I upgraded my Iconica W510 tablet to Windows 10 about 6 months back. Thereafter disc is not left with adequate space even to accept further upgrades. Should I revert back to Winows 8, if so how? I don't recall the product key of windows 8 supplied by Acer.

    Should be able to retrieve your original key with a third party app such as from Nirsoft.

     

    BTW my 510 has 14GB free and am running Win10 1607. Have moved the Windows.old directory offline and used disk cleanup for both user and system. Are some threads on how to do this.

    Yeah, make sure you check your Windows.old folder before doing anything drastic. It often ends up with a lot of space used.

    Have also seen a Windows.old.vim of about 4GB you can move offline to update.
