Creators Update - tablet - not enough space for upgrade. SD card?

Did you save the ISO file to the SD card, mount it from there and run setup.exe from the mounted ISO file?

That's the way I've done it, save the offline install file to the 64GB MicroSDXC card D: drive then install to Win10 on C: drive. The 32-bit version is usually just under 1GB while the 64-bit version is usually between 1 and 1.5GB.

I've tried both the Upgrade Assistant and the Media Creation Tool with no luck.

I'm guessing you tried the MCT's 'upgrade this PC' option - that won't work due to lack of space. You need to use its 'create media for another PC' option to make the .iso file. Put it on an SD card as others have said, then mount the .iso and run the Setup you'll find there.

If you have USB ports, Setup can use an ntfs formatted USB stick for extra storage (it can put windows.old there, I believe).

same problem, it is only allowing to place the iso on my C: drive, where I dont have over 5GB, but I have 3 other rives where it will fit, but, I cannot even get it to offer me an option, just says C: is full make space and come back. I'm trying to d/l the iso which I will burn to disc. I tried "for this computer", as well as unchecking that box, same results.

Anyone know how ro d/l the new help app as well, cant locate that either.

It's all over now baby blue

It may require the drives to be ntfs formatted...

Since the ISO file is over 4 GB, it does require the target storage location to be NTFS formatted.

You then use Disk Cleanup which will delete windows.old, & you can reclaim your space."

D'OH!, when it is so cose it burns but you cant see what is crystal clear to others, Big Ups CC!

Small Asus notebook with 28GB SSD running Win 10 Anniversary with just 1.09GB space on C drive - downloaded Creator update to another PC and installed it onto a 16GB USB stick - Asus informed me it would need to use available space on C drive and 10GB of the USB stick - all up and running now. Thanks for the info in previous replies that prompted me to give it a go - the little old lady who owns it will be delighted, she was getting frustrated by keep receiving messages about there not being enough space on C drive to complete updates.
