Windows Updates downloads 14 GB and fills drive

I can't expand it - I would need a new laptop. My laptop has RAM 2gb SSD 32gb It originally had Win8 and upgraded to 10 and ran surprisingly well -- until the anniversary update.

• In a FAQ it said Windows 10 uses approximately 10 GBs of disk space.
  
  Windows 10 can upgrade such systems with as little as 8.5 GB of free space.
  This is misleading. Win10 it has gotten bigger and updates seem to need a lot more space (and no option for moving download location). I had 14 gb free space when something (assume Win10 update) filled it up and notified me I was out of space. In the list of
  updates for Win10 version 1607 I cannot even find an update that applies to this system...

What I've done so far:

I run Ccleaner and Windows Disk Cleaner (cleanmgr) regularly. I set settings to store personal files on an external SD-card. I've disabled Hibernate and indexing of C drive. I reduced the paging file. I uninstalled a few programs that were stored in C.
I have found www.catalog.update.microsoft.com so maybe I can keep going by manually updating.

 

Windows 11: Disk Space

Windows 11: Disk Space

I've installed Windows 11 in the past but it took a lot of my disk space. I couldn't even download a new NVIDIA driver. Would Microsoft fix this space issue?

I have 51.9 GB of 456 GB left

and I was wondering how much space you need for Windows 11. If I don't get an answer, I'll just install it on a VM and uninstall the ... bloatware.

I don't have 64 GB left and I'll try to install it again if I don't get an answer.

Thank you if you can help **Redirecting - Error Message article**

 

Missing over 600 GB of free unused disk space!

I have an HP 250 G2 Notebook. When installing Windows 7 the setup menu showed me a list of disks and partitions and asked, "Where do you want to install Windows?" There was a 'Disk 0' with 298 GB of space and a 'Disk 1' with over 600 GB of space. I thought
I was deleting a partition and selected 'Disk 1' and clicked the 'Delete' button in the menu below the list of storage space drives. I thought this would result in seeing one drive with about 931 GB of space (as listed in the product specifications on the
HP website). Instead the 'Disk 1' and its space COMPLETELY disappeared. I cannot get that 600 GB of space to appear again. When viewing drives in the Windows Explorer it only shows 298 GB of space. When going to the disk manager, it only shows 298 GB of space.
I tried re-formatting the machine and reinstalling Windows. Still only shows 298 GB of space. I tried using the command prompt as an administrator and running "chkdsk". Still only shows 298 GB of space. I tried using "diskpart" still only shows 298GB of space.
I installed several "expert" applications that are designed to view partitions and recover disk space. Still only shows 298 GB of space. Beginning to loose hope. How did I loose 2/3 of my disk space and how do I get it back?
