Windows 10 update disk space
Have a new Inspiron 14 that only has a 28 gb hard drive. Windows 10 was already installed. Todays Window 10 update needs more space to install it. There is only 4 gb free on this hard drive. I inserted a new 16 gb usb flash drive and clicked on the tab for that drive. Nothing happens. I also tried this with a 500 gb Seagate USB hard drive. Once again, the update process recognizes the drive is attached but will not proceed. When clicking on refresh I get the message that I need an additional 5.21 gb on the C drive.
What do I need to do?

The laptop is new out of the box. I haven't added anything. Not enough to move to get the space needed.
I have the same laptop and the same issue. Forget about the update. Microsoft update completely installs Windows 10 if you have the space. The Windows 10 Home edition that came with the machine works fine and I am keeping it. I am really sick of these updates. Keep what you have and disregard the failed updates on your update history.:emotion-1:

Bought a 32 gb SD card. Same problem. Will not continue the update after highlighting the SD card in the menu. Just sits there.
