As I mentioned HERE, I've had troubles upgrading my noteboot to Win10 due to it having a very small SSD, and not booting from USB. I solved it using the "Media Creation Tool" Now this tool USUALLY lets you create a bootable install medium for other computers, but it did something different for me. I downloaded the tool directly from Microsoft and ran it from a connected 16GB USB-Stick. When prompted I siad I wanted to upgrade this PC, and expected it to create a bootable Stick for me. Instead, it upgraded my PC, using the USB-Stick as temporary diskspace only (it was empty afterwards) Also, reinstalling from stick requires you to register Win10 on the disk beforehand (I'f I'm informed correctly), and I didn't need to do that, as this way was considered an update and it registered itself. The good thing is, Win10 doesn't use a recoverydrive anymore, and decided (by itself) to delete mine (which Win8.1 refused to). So now, instead of having Win8.1 on a ~20GB Partition with ~8GB free, I have Win10 on a ~28GB Partition with ~15GB free Wow, that's great news! For my specific device, all drivers are available from the manufacturer, but some don't work. Returning to the equivalent Win8.1 drivers healed this though (but it took some fiddling and the manufacturers forum to get there) Sadly, what still doesn't work is my HDMI-out, but then again it didn't under Win8.1 either. Oh well. Best Regards, Xir
If you want to [potentially] free up a bit more space, you might want to turn compactOS on if it's not on already [similar to WIMBoot in 8.x], if you're ok with the potential CPU hit... more info
