storage capacity

[Thisishardwork]

If I do an upgrade, is it possible to delete the 8.1 recovery partition, as I read somewhere on this thread or on a link somewhere, in order to free up space on the Stream storage device?

I actually think I'd prefer to do a clean install.

Yes, if you check the instructions I posted, it gives the steps to delete the Windows 8.1 recovery partition, it can only be deleted after Windows 10 is installed.

If you do a clean install of Windows 10, be sure to do an update from Windows 8.1 first, otherwise the clean install will not activate, this is also covered in the instructions.

Okay, Kyle, thanks.

Currently saving the partition to USB. Unfortunately, I think I bought the slowest USB 2.0 flash drive that could ever be made ... I think even USB 1.0 was faster than this.

I know I'm a little (well, okay, maybe a lot) dense but I just want to make sure I get this right. I download Win10 to flash drive, upgrade from that, then do a celan install also from that?

Or do I download the upgrade through Windows update and then do a clean install from USB?

I just ran the upgrade from within Windows 8.1 by inserting the Windows 10 USB drive and double clicking on the setup file.

Well, lucky for you people tonight, I don't have another flash drive to put a Windows 10 installation on, so it'll have to wait a day or two.

Thanks for the help. I'll be back in touch.

This drivers can be downloaded from here. BE sure Windows 10 is selected as the OS.

Okay, I have downloaded the Media Creatio File.

Now what do I do?

[Photoray002]

Im begining to feel like Im getting pwned here.

So did you free up about 12 GB of space on your tablet now to run it from your desktop

or did you want to create the USB installer?

Running the creator tool from your desktop the first time is easier.

Which did you decide?

[Photoray002]

If you reset windows 8.1 now and have half your free space available, you can just run the media creation tool from the desktop and choose Ugrade this PC the first time. No need to do any other updating first.

Choose your laguage (English)?  and choose Windows Home Single Language as the Operating System.

Run the Tool and it will tell you what to do, its very simple. You need an interent conection.

If will register the tablet automatically as upgraded for you with Microsoft.

I'm doing all that. It's currently downloading the Windows 10 update. Hasn't asked for languages or anything yet. I'm sure it will when it starts to install.

If I choose to do a clean install later, do I choose "Upgrade this PC" or "Create Media for Installation on another PC" option whenI click the exe file I downloaded?

I'm not sure what  getting pwned means, but I assume I'm annoying you. I'll try hard not to, I assure you. Sorry!

I do appreciate the help though.
