    you can use an external USB HDD, windows will use it to store temporary files during update.

    I'm not an Acer employee.

    I had the same problem of not enough room.  From your Revo or any other computer, go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/.  Click on "Downlaod tool now".  Run MediaCreationTool.exe to create a USB stick (Must be at least 4GB).  Then put that stick into your Revo and run sepup.exe.  It will update your Revo to the most recent realease.  I was able to do it with less than 10GB of disk space.

    Put a 32 Gb USb stick into my Revo Build, ran the MediaCreationTool.exe, selected "create installation media for another PC", still tells me I "need 8 Gb free on C:" (only 5.1 Gbyte left).  So tell me again how you got it to work?  Currently running 10240, want to upgrade to 1607.

     

    And while I'm here, I installed Office 365 and Onedrive onto the Revo.  Onedrive worked for a while (was able to download Onedrive cloud files to 128 Gbyte SD card in Revo).  Now Onedrive starts, looks like it MAy try to sync, then says "Onedrive has enountered a problem and needs to close".  Re-running Onedrive.exe does the same thing, "cloud" icon appears for amybe 30 seconds then vanished.

    Run the MediaCreationTool on a different system.  Choose create installation media for another PC and select 64 bit.  Then insert the USB stick in your Revo and run setup.exe.  It would be a good idea to run "Disk Cleanup" with the "Cleanup system files" option before doing the update.  I did the delete everything option and then reinstalled my data and the few apps I run.  Make sure you run Disk Cleanup again after you do the update.

    Thanks, I did that after trying to run Media Creation Tool on the Revo like the poster stated.
