Hi All, Very non-techy mum here, so please be gentle. Son has Asus laptop, with small C drive (29.1gb, choc a bloc full. Also ahs a SSD installed, 7 gb used out of 111. When I put in the SSD I set it as the default drive for stuff to be saved too, and that has been fine. Problem is that Windows 10 is on the c drive, which is chocka, and won;t allow any more updates to download.

I have tried to clone/move it using EaseTODO, but when I start the system clone I select Hard diosk 0 to move Microsoft Windows 10 to but i get the message "Not enough unallocated space on the target disk. To make sure the boot ability of target disk, please delete partitions on there first"

I am not sure what to do next chaps, any advice please, i have screen shot showing the system clone page, but as so untecchy i don't even know how to attahc it here. Please help!
thaks in advance,

Vicky

I'm running 30 days Arcronis trial -google search it for fully copy software.

These threads go nowhere. Not at all nice when someone starts a thread and then appears to abandon it.
Though a lot of the advice is decidedly dodgy.

I tried previously and finally sold ASU's 32gb ssd laptop as I couln't get win10 anniversary.
Since purchased i3/128gb-and have latest win10 version at least for some time.
Win10 does run on 32gb ssd though not latest updates.

Not sure is said anywhere else but clear the contents of the updates download folder

Open File Explorer, and go to View > Folder Options. Select the Show hidden files, folder, and drives radio button, and click Apply to enable the display of hidden files on your computer. Once done, navigate to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download and delete the content of the Download folder.
