Making a bootable USB with some trouble :'(

I need to have 8GB on my laptop but I just got 3!!!

So, some days ago I bought a desktop with Windows 7, the problem is that it's an enterprise thing, I can't log in 'cause I don't work there. I go to my laptop, stick a 16GB USB to make a bootable drive with the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft, and it tells me I need at least 8GB on the laptop. The problem? I have a 32GB laptop, so those 3 gigs left are the most available storage I can have. Can anyone tell me if I'm missing something or another way to install it? Thanks!!!

Delete the hypbernation. file, but really 32gb is way to small for windows. ALso windows 10 is a bit smaller, It can install on a 16gb ssd.

I know, it requires at least 8 for the 64-bit, but my laptop has 32GB, it's an HP Stream, and the Media Creation Tool says I need 8 gigs on the C drive, which is the one of my laptop.

What are you trying to do? It seems to be running fine already? why do you need to make a installer.

 

And yea thats a problem on those system, not much you can do. Disable hibernation,check usage with space sniffer.
