![]() If HP Tech finds me a solution, I will update here. I do use an SD card for storing all data, so there is nothing on the machine that I need to save. HP Tech is trying to find a solution, but to me it appears that reverting to Windows 8.1 and staying there is the solution for my purposes. Microsoft says unless that partition can be re-allocated to the C drive, W10 cannot update on this machine now or in the future. HP Tech says that partition is used to recover to W8 and cannot be reallocated. ![]() HP's recovery partition has 7.37 GB, and has nothing in it according to Disk Mgt. With only a few apps totaling a few hundred MB outside of Windows, there is only 4 GB of available space and W10 wants 6.67. It comes to a point however where it needs more space on the C drive itself, which is 20.89 GB as HP has formatted it. During the update process W10 can use a flash drive or SD disk (at least 16 GB) for its temporary and recovery files. When the November update came out, Windows 10 is unable to update with the space limitations of this machine. Its primary uses for me are web access and email. I bought the Stream for travel and away from home, and for its size and weight, and understanding the limitations of its on board storage. It replaces a Thinkpad X61 which I had for many years but finally died with repair cost far more than value.
