Hi All,


Just letting everyone know how I finally got my Windows 10 Anniversary 
update on my dinky laptop.


George's post below was helpful. In a nutshell, the forums suggest to 
use Disk Cleanup or a Media Creation Tool. The former didn't work for me 
because I just didn't have enough free space, and I would need a lot 
more. the Media Creation Tool did work. I had to uninstall a few more 
things because the tool needs 8 GB of free space, which is about half 
the normally required space. Its URL is

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/


I'm posting to thank George and to share in case others here have this 
problem.


Ciao
