That is all I am asking. I cannot believe that my Surface or any device with minimal space cannot use an EXTERNAL device as I saw demonstrated in the video.

If you are trying to install the anniversary update to a storage device that doesnt have windows already installed on it then it doesn't work like that. you can download the iso image to your desktop for installing to a dvd or this tool will erase the usb then install windows so that you can install windows to a desktop or laptop computer

The answer is simple, create free space so you can install. or Upgrade that hard drive to a bigger hard drive.
I do think upgrade is the best way to go. 64GB SSD with 13GB your be running that drive at full capacity which is never a good thing.

Thank you

Your hard drive must be in the red because its so full.

Whether it was down to my initial wording or folk reading too fast, we have gone around in circles somewhat. Yes, all I wanted to do was update using the Anniversary assistant. No, my drive C:/ was not in the read. I did forget one thing - the Surface has a 128GB SD card reader and I had a 64GB card installed. No, I did not expect to perform the update on another drive BUT as I have said, another video showed a dropdown that allowed the author to select it - I assumed that MS would use that for tempory files. I have moved ONE DRIVE and more to my D:/ SD card and am running the update as I type. |
