This might be a CPU overheating problem

This comes with Win8.1 and I would like to upgrade to 10. When I run the app it tells me I need more space. The tablet has 32GB in the screen (C:) and 500GB in the detachable keyboard (D:).

Obviously not all the 32GB is available but there’s nothing I can remove as it’s had a factory reset.

The online help – including here – I find tells me that the upgrade process *should* ask me to add external storage to enable the install but this is just not happening. It just keep telling me I don’t have enough space. I have a USB stick I could use or (ideally) the 500GB HD in the keyboard.

Can anyone offer any help? (Bear in mind I am not very technical)

an Asus E403 which has a 30GB hard disk (you store data on the cloud).
Windows takes up 18GB and basic programs 5GB, so there’s a 12GB
shortfall to run Windows Update for the first time (to update to the
latest version of Windows 10). I’ve attached an external drive which
Windows 10 recognises as having 109G free space, but when I click on the
‘Refresh’ didly squat happens. Any ideas anyone?

Yes, you can remove the external disk once the upgrade to new version is complete. But if you want to rollback to earlier version, you’ll need it again. If you are sure and don’t want to rollback, you can delete whatever files, folders it has created on external disk. Even a partition with enough space on the same hard disk will also do, if you don’t have an external hard disk.

Fix the problem first.
