[dba-Tech] Win10 predownloaded setup almost doubled my system disk used space...

[Salakhetdinov Shamil]

 Hi Gustav --

I have just checked - I have 716 MB left n C: - disaster is aproaching. Could that be  SSD blues?
Starting to clean-in up immediately. Forget Win10.

Thank you.

>Thank you for your comment, from your experience of running Win10 upgrade, which you've done a few AFAIU, - while upgrade is running does it download some more files or it just goes checking for updates when the whole upgrade process finishes?

>>I'm not sure. None of my upgrades followed this method, as it requires that your pc hasn't been connected to an Active Directory, which all of our machines have.
>>
>>Someone else must chime in, but to me it sounds like the update is already unpacked and ready to install - just waiting for your signal. If so, don't run the Disk Clean Up and just watch if you disk usage isn't steady by now.
>>
>>Nothing happens by waiting - you have until ultimo July next year.
