Can't update Windows 10 tablet, says not enough space, 17GB free!

pinchez

I have a 8" Toshiba encore 2GB / 32GB tablet with 128GB MicroSD with 17.4GB free on C: and over 80GB free on MicroSD. Despite all this space I can't update Windows 10 version 10240 to 14393. When I hit update now it says CPU, Memory and Disk Space OK then I click next and it says not enough disk space

I've tried running disk cleanup but no joy!

I really don't want to do a wipe and re-install if I can help it.

Any ideas?

In the end I decided to use Windows 10 media creation tool which updated my tablet slowly but worked perfect

Windows 10 needs more space on the system drive to store some necessary files, but your C: drive does not have enough free space, so the error occurs. Usually you need about 8 GB free disk space to upgrade to Windows 10. That some installation packages of Windows 10 may include all the language packs of operating system (OS) may also cause insufficient disk space error, which has been announced as a bug by Microsoft.
