    Unable to Reserve the System Partition/ Update from W10 V.1607


    Windows Version: 1607 (OS Build 14393.2214)

    So for the past few months I have been attempting to update my version of windows and kept being met with the same failure suggesting that my computer was unable to reserve the system partition for the update. However when I checked through the Windows 10 Upgrade App it said my computer met system requirements. The issue now being that I have hit a brick wall, upon attempting to allow my system to allocate more space all options (even properties) is greyed out on my disk management. On top of this my automatic updater has fallen heavily behind stating the first update failure was back on 8/24/17 (sadly I hadn't noticed.) I also have attempted to install each update starting with 1703 manually via the Microsoft update catalogue which also suggested my computer did not meet system requirements. I believe this issue is also causing some of my applications to not start as the system started sending "ntdll.dll" errors when I attempt to start up certain applications. Is there someone that could possibly help me troubleshoot this issue and if absolutely necessary I can also use team viewer.

    First, it sounds like time for a clean install.

    Second, need to see a screenshot of disk management:
