Setup needs space to update - but I have space!

Hi, I'm trying to update to windows 11 version 24H2. When I do the install, it stops at 37% stating it needs space to update.

However, I have 15GB of free storage. Why is it asking for more space?? This is more free space than it should need to do the update.

Any help appreciated.

Many thanks

Wayne

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

The upgrade to version 24H2 requires minimum 40GB of free space on the C drive, because your need space for the installation files, temp files and also the current Windows folder will be copied into a Windows.Old folder on the C drive to allow you to roll back the update if it is not successful.
