Hi all,
Calling the Microsoft Disability Help Desk is next on the agenda, but I
thought I'd put the bat signal out here first.
My laptop is running Windows 10. since it's the computer I use for
school, I thought I'd run the anniversary update here at home so I
wouldn't be prompted to do so in the middle of class while it's hooked
up to the overhead during one of my deep and meaningful lectures.
So I went into Windows Settings > Update. I found out I had two updates,
one being Windows 10 Anniversary. The other update installed
successfully. Apparently, part of that update involved the installation
of a little Get Windows App. When I ran it, it said that my computer
could run the update but that I needed to free up some disk space. This
was surprising because I don't actually have much on it, but I went
ahead and uninstalled Dropbox, Thunderbird, NVDA, and some of the
promotional apps that come with the computer, like Evernet. After each
uninstall, I ran Disk Cleanup, and tried the update again only to be
told I need to free up more disk space. At this point, what's left are
Windows Defender, Jaws, Text Cloner pro, Firefox, and Office. I've
turned Jaws off and tried installing with Narrator running, but still no
success. I was ready to uninstall Jaws, but I'm not all that sure doing
so will solve my problem.
When I press alt+enter on This PC, I find that I have 2GB memory and
1.89 GB RAM. Is it even possible to get both numbers to 2 GB?
Ciao
