Windows 10: How to run updates with two drives but not enough free space on C:

I am trying to run updates on my son's desktop PC. It's been idle for 12 months so it's got a lot of updates to run through.

The PC has two drives. The C: drive is an SSD with 64GB capacity and 4GB free space while the E: drive is a std hard drive with ~1000GB capacity and ~500GB free space.

I'm either looking for guidelines on what I can remove from the C: drive to get some working space for the install, or a way to use the E: drive for the downloads and temp files while the update runs.

There are some user folders on C: but they all appear to be empty and as best I can tell all of the user files are on the E: drive.

:)

 

Unallocated Space to C Drive

Thanks

 

Unallocated Space to C Drive

Hi Travis,

It appears that a disk partition was created but was never assigned its allocation. Assuming there are no files stored in the unallocated partition, perform these steps to combine it with your C: drive:

• In Disk Management, right-click on (C which appears next to the
  Unallocated partition.
  
• Select Extend.

Let us know if you're able to combine the spaces after following the steps above.

Regards.

 

Updates eating c drive space in Windows 10

Frequent updates suggestion keep coming from Windows as well as from HP. As I keep all the applications updated I have observed my c drive space has become less and it has slowed down my laptop.

After the installation of new updates my c drive space is shrinking incessantly .

Could you please suggest what can be done so that machine doesn't become slow and c drive has enough space.
