Windows 10 Install Issues

[Valley_]

So I am going to get another SSD soon and I want my OS to be on that new SSD so I am making a bootable USB drive and I have this issue which I explain in this video. Please please help.

Don't use the windows media creating tool, use rufus and download a iso

When you're using the Media Creation tool, you need to select the option that creates an installation media for another system. It'll ask you the drive to create the installation media on and you'll need to select the drive letter that corresponds to your USB. The C drive is your current Windows installation which has less than a 1GB of space left. That's why you're getting that error.

Have you got the USB stick plugged in? (sorry for asking an obvious question)

 

Can you see it in 'My Computer' or even 'Disk Management'? Does it have a drive letter? Is it min. 8GB?

What make & model of USB is it? Some aren't supported.

My one is supported because I  have used it once before for this exact thing

Ok dude, just trying to rule things out that haven't been mentioned. You know, troubleshooting

Oh it could be because when it downloads the ISO, it stores it temporary on the C drive... that'll make more sense.

That's my thought too. I guess I will have to use a different system to download it

Could try a disk cleanup or download WinDirStat to see if you can free up enough room on C:

 

You should only need 4GB free (I think)

I don't mind creating a torrent for the ISO. 

 

Pretty sure it's OK to do as there's no copyright etc being broken.
