... You edited the post with something other than "delete this" or "woops, sorry" after the three other replies? I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Google translate is to blame.
An off-topic question: Anyone have advice on what to do when you just want to throw everything against the wall? Bourdain was a bad start but man today has just been downhill in the roughest of fashions.
(For anyone that missed it today, Anthony Bourdain committed suicide. Friendly reminder if anyone is having similar thoughts - please contact someone and at least have a talk. You only get one life.)
EDIT: Phrasing.

I'm fairly sure the lounge is not the place to look for authentication or authorisation.
Perhaps somebody on SO has it?
Otherwise youtube, everything's on youtube these days, even authenticated cats.
This internet thing is amazing! Letting people use it: worst idea ever!

I will tell you that Microsoft can be so stupid. I have a laptop with an SSd of around 28GB and then a large hard drive. Well Microsoft update wants an additional 3.51 gb on my ssd which has 1.38 gb free. To get everything to fit on this small (LOL) ssd I have a bunch of applications installed on the hard drive including Visual Studio and Microsoft office.
The only way I could free up space is to uninstall all the major applications. Not really interested enough in that to do it.
What is Microsoft thinking to require about 5 gb free to install an update!!!!!

Very annoying indeed, I had the same problem when I had a 32Gb SSD.
You might be able to free up some space by
- Disabling hibernate[^]
- Disabling the swap file[^]
You can turn them back on after installing the update. Though this is still inconvenient, it's probably less work than uninstalling and then reinstalling your applications.

I guess the M$ installation is downloading the DVD image of the installation as zip and than need place to unzip and run.
Press F1 for help or google it.

This is how it works, after installation, the image is removed freeing up space.

When the first windows 10 tablets came out, Microsoft specified 16gb as the minimum size of the C: drive.
Of course, when the first big update came, there wasn't enough room on the drive for the update to work, even on a clean, factory reset device.
So it would keep starting the update, failing, revert, and try again...

Microsoft windows group is pretty screwed up. They did not take advantaged of the PDA period to create a good implementation of Windows for small devices. If they had they would have had the phone market today tied up in a bow. Windows group has never been a good group. 95 had to be pushed out the door with problems still in the OS. Windows group became extremely political and now Microsoft is losing thanks to Windows group and their stupidity. Office is not much better.

You may have discovered the way to finally opt out of win10 updates since M$ forces them on machines which are set to ignore them.
Just fill up your boot drive with useless files and you're good to go.

That's a great idea!

Are we talking about one of the monthly cumulative updates, or an OS upgrade (such as moving Windows 10 1709 to 1803)?
If the former - couple of suggestions:
Delete volume shadow copies with "vssadmin delete shadows /all" (from an admin prompt).
Run cleanmgr.exe (under %windir%\system32) as an admin, as that presents more options.
Store the update installer EXE itself on your larger drive and run it from there. If you don't have it and you're trying to do this from Windows Update (downloading files on the fly, which doesn't ask you where to put them), get the full installer instead from http://catalog.update.microsoft.com. I'm assuming you have the KB number of the update you're trying to install.
Temporarily (permanently?) remap your Documents/Downloads/Pictures/Videos folders to the larger drive (if they represent more space than the installer wants), install the update, then remap the folders.
Remap %TEMP% to your larger drive before running the installer. Change it back when done.
If I can keep my HP Stream 7 tablet with Windows 10 up to date each month (with only 16GB of storage, total), there's little reason you can't do the same with a 32GB SSD and a second larger drive.

These are great suggestions! I am going to keep a copy of these.

This is all based on hard-earned experience. I'm glad to share what I can.

Quite an effort for this. Would think Microsoft would make it easier to extend across drives, but the Windows team pretty much sucks anyway.

Those were not step-by-step instructions, but merely a list of suggestions.

These days, that's not even close to being enough.
My PC came with a 128Gb SSD and a 2Tb HDD back in 2014. Thanks to all the stuff that will only install on the C: drive, it wasn't long before I had to replace it with a 500Gb one. Usage is currently at 176Gb.
And yes, I can remember the days when a 28Mb HDD seemed enormous!

Yes when I got the laptop I was not expecting to start running into space problems just putting on Office. After all I had 28 gb on the SSD...
|

Finally ordered an 250 gb when I lost license for Visual Studio and had to drop back to the community edition. Now cannot get Visual Studio installed again. Guess could go back to a clean system but decided to do that with a new SSC

Windows 10 install says it needs 20g for the 64 bit install. My 'Windows' directory has 19g in it.
If I only had 28g and I was going to put Windows 10 on it then that would be the only thing I would put on it.

Space for the download itself, then it needs temporary space to expand that update.
Can't you just get a bigger SSD - wouldn't it be time for that anyways?
There are also instructions on installing it from a different hard drive.
Myself the SSD I have is 500g and I have had to clean that up recently since it was starting to get full.

I have considered it. Of course then I have to get windows installed again, and not sure the impact since don't know the process for doing the exchange. Obviously not happy with having to move things over to the hard drive...Microsoft does not do a good job of making it easy to work with a secondary drive, and it should.
