I have a combination part lying around here - a mixture of notebook and tablet PC. The device has Windows 10 installed at the factory, but there's not enough storage space for the necessary updates. I've read that they can also be stored on external data media. I just ordered a fast 32 GB SD card. Does this work well or are difficulties to be expected?
Would advise against it, since your operating system roughly explains that your device works. If you save it to an SD card, the speed is limited by the data transfer rate of the SD card slot and the SD card.
In addition, there would be extreme problems should you remove them.
I have no other option. Windows may not work properly without updates, and the system is not secure.
Have you ever tried to move apps or opponent programs that consume memory to the SD card so that the updates have space on the internal memory?
The internal storage space is largely used by Windows. The part is just enough to surf the net. Apart from Firefox, there are no other programs to move it. The memory can't be upgraded either.
Walking does it, beautiful is something else.
Would first delete the .old and then release the Pagefilesys and hiberfil.sys. This is usually around 10GB in total.
Otherwise you can of course do it as you wrote it. It's extremely slow, of course, but you're probably used to that.
You probably have such a fun economy model with 2GB RAM and 16 / 32GB SSD.
Do you have no other choice to follow your descriptions if I understand correctly?
Setting up new ones would also be an option and see what it looks like.
But it is often the case that Windows has a folder with old updates that are still stored on your device.
Otherwise, if nothing else is possible, invest in a fast SD card and try it.
Hope you get the problem right.
