Insufficient SSD capacity for Windows 10 feature update
A common problem with small notebooks and laptops with minimal capacity drives of 32Gb is that there is not enough spare drive space to carry out a Windows update to the next release with the current version installed. This was the issue with a Lenovo 120S 11IAP Model: 81A4. The sequence to take this machine from version 1709 to 20H2 in December 2020 was:
- Added an external USB flash drive; used a 64Gb blank NTFS formatted. The update left a 4Gb file on this stick which could be ejected later.
- Reset Windows 10 : Skip Network Connection add a Local User
- Disable/Pause Update in settings
- Connect to WiFi / Network
- Download and run Windows Upgrade Assistant
