Windows 10 upgrade 10586 on R3-131T

tk1

Hi, I have two brand new in box Acer aspire R3-131T. 4gRam 32gSSD.

Running windows updates.

When attempting to update windows 10 to build 10586.

Windows says not enough space to install update, provide an alternative.

Provided empty 16G usb drive.

Windows detected external drive as \ and tries to continue.

Windows then says not enough space on drive c. Only 6.8G available.

Ran cleaning tools on drive c:, no help.

Tried removing language packs, nothing but english installed, so also no help.

Cannot find windows.old directory to remove as per some forum suggestions. (new machine, therefore dont care about old windows).

Can I just use a vanilla windows 10 ISO and start fresh with the new build? Or will I loose my licence from Acer?

Thanks

Tony

The update does not like flash drives. You can use a SD card or a USB HDD or SSD drive with at least 16 GB free space.

Thanks very much for replying. I really don't have the time to be messing around each time a major patch is released for windows 10, I need it to be automatic or at the very least simple and without strange unexplainable incompatibilities.

I am replacing the machines with a different brand and higher spec with more SSD storage. Someone elses problem now. Sorry Acer you have lost a customer.

Too bad, you can get a great deal on a R3-131T-P344 on Amazon right now (probably not for long) and It has no storage issues. I have one and it is blue.
