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

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Shamil

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.

 Hi Gustav --

Thank you for your comment.

>> However, as busy as you are now, I would postpone this for a while 
Yes, I wanted to postpone Win10 upgrade till I finish a couple of urgent projects, but this starting upgrade dialog has appeared here on my system several times already and I have been closing it and my system used disk space was as usual around 100GB but now when I see it grown to almost 200GB (within just a week) I'm getting concerned wasn't that high system disk memory consumption caused by Win10 upgrade waiting to go? If I'll stop it a few more times wouldn't my system hang because of my system disk getting out of space? - AFAIS from the disk clean-up analysis I can free up to 69.3GB now - wouldn't that clean-up remove some of Win10 upgrade temp files, which it will need to download again?

My system free disk space is ~43GB now - I will check tomorrow how much it will change.

Thank you.

>I'm not yet in Win10 camp, AFAIS I have got Win10 setup(?) "automagically" downloaded and it's ready to go with "Great, we'll get the upgrade started" dialog asking me to accept this setup process but I'm currently behind a mobile Internet connection so I'm keeping this Win10 setup start-up dialog idle. 
>When I have checked my system disk space I was surprised its used space almost doubled from usual 100+GB to 200GB, - is it a usual story for Win10 setup files volume? 
>And this my system disk is an SSD disk, which has only 256GB so I'm wondering will its currently free 50+GB volume be good enough for Win10 setup? Will here be all setup files purged after setup will complete? - I have a second 1TB HDD on the same system - is there any way to move Win10 setup there on my large HDD before I'll proceed with it?
