Windows 10 Upgrade Problems Pertaining to System Reserved Partition
Hello! I just joined and look forward to (hopefully) helping others and maybe being helped myself.
My system drive, a Samsung 850 Evo, was cloned from an older SSD a few months ago. Today, I attempted upgrade to Windows 10, since I am eligible (running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit). The taskbar icon, which disappeared, is up again at the time of writing, and I have reserved an upgrade for myself, but I was recommended to just use the 'Media Creation Tool': https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...load/windows10
I launched it, it downloaded. Everything went well, until I was notified that my reserved partition could not be updated.
"We couldn't update the system partition"
Now, until then I had two reserve partitions. I deleted one (E:, as seen in the picture below), because it was a remnant of an older backup Windows install on one of my HDD, and not an actual, functioning system partition. The system partition in this case, was 'Data' located on my SSD (C:). When I looked in Disk Management to see what could have yielded such an error, I realised that the partition only had 7 MB (7%) of it's storage left. This, in turn, should be the cause of the error(s). I assume part of this lack of system partition space was due to Samsung's Data Migration software, of which I used to clone my old SSD over to my current one. How can I solve all of this??
