Yes

Just type: E:\setup /auto upgrade

You can also just type setup and the system will upgrade your system.

E:\setup.exe

What is the RAM limit and why does it matter?

Can you make an image with Reflect then put in a larger HD?

No difference. You will still not be able to free up enough space to
do the Win 10 upgrade BEFORE Creators edition.

Take it to a computer shop.

Atom Z3735F 4 core, 1.33GHz base $18
RAM Up to 2GB DDR3L 1333 MHz, single channel
Storage Up to 32GB eMMC
microSD card slot

To do an install, keep a microSD card handy. You should
be able to use the MicroSD for other purposes later.

The installation process can use the microSD as
a "scratchpad", to compensate for the low amount of
remaining storage on the eMMC. You could probably
get a 32GB SDHC microSD. Check the manual first to see
the max microSD size that works.

"So moving onto the boxes, which is where the
fun begins: there's a whole bunch of different designs
& features available. They come with eMMC SSD drives in
various sizes, including 16, 32, and 64gb - typically 32gb,
which leaves about 20 gigs free for your files, which is small,
but you can expand it with a MicroSD card (most devices max out
at either 64gb or 128gb MicroSD, depending on the model)."

That suggests a 32GB MicroSD would work. It could be that
the SD interface is on the SOC, but I wasn't able to confirm that.
The user manual should really have the necessary info.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital

SDSC (SD): 1 MB to 2 GB,
some 4 GB were made
SDHC: 2 GB to 32 GB --- 32GB ones exist, could hold Windows.old
SDXC: 32 GB to 2 TB

There is a tool to put Windows ISOs on USB sticks.
This should work for Vista or later.

"Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool
(extracts from ISO9660 file and copies files to USB stick)"

The first link is the README, the second link the download.

http://web.archive.org/web/201110052...B-DVD-tool.exe

There can be an issue with bootsect.exe, so if it
fails to finish installing on USB, that's probably the reason.

Lenovo
MicroSD -- 00S-11IBY -- USB 8GB stick prepared by
Scratch the Win7 tool, and ~3.5GB ISO
Storage

Since this is an Upgrade install, you run Setup.exe off
the USB key (from the existing Win10 desktop screen).
The USB key should show up as a drive letter,
and at the top level, there should be a Setup.exe file.
Double-click to launch it. The 2GB of RAM in the system
should be fine - the OS min is 1GB. The tested min is
256MB (I could run Notepad). The "comfort" min is maybe
350MB. The memory compressor doesn't have to run quite
as hard. With 256MB, Firefox probably wouldn't start :-)
Microsoft specs 1GB, to leave some elbow room.

That's a good point. You can actually mount the
ISO file in Explorer, without making a USB stick
or a DVD. That works, because the first stage of
installation, copies all necessary files, so when the
mount is not available after intermediate reboot,
it doesn't matter.

Having a USB stick handy, is useful if you need a way
to do maintenance (the install didn't finish for some
reason, and you were trying to rescue it). But I think
I'd rather have Macrium on the USB stick, just in case
I needed to do a restore when the upgrade fails.

Upgrades are pretty reliable now, in that they roll back,
even if the OS fails on the first reboot after it's all
supposed to be done. At one time, Win10 installs could
break just when they were rebooting to the desktop for the
first time, and the revert didn't work. But that's fixed now.

Doing backups now, is to protect against "unknown unknowns" :-)

The installer for tablets, accepts an SD card
for "scratch space". A dialog, noting the lack of
space, should appear on the screen, inviting the operator
to run off to Walmart and pick up an SD. I hope the
dialog tells the operator what size to buy :-)

http://www.thewindowsclub.com/upgrad...ace-windows-10

"Choose another drive or attach an external drive with 9.00 GB available"

I expect a USB key would also work.

Since the dialog does indicate the size, you get some
advanced warning.

Clicking the "X" should stop the install, if you have
no external storage to offer the machine.

"Challenged" but not "screwed" :-)

Thank goodness, eventually, more 64GB eMMCs will show
up in computers, to make this a less common experience.
eMMCs are small, because they "only want to give you one
chip", as a measure of their cheapness. The flash
storage offered, is constrained by whatever a single
chip can provide inside the tablet. It's too bad the supply
of flash is tight, and will remain tight in 2018, and thus
there will be an incentive until 2019, to be stuffing the
too-small 32GB ones in there.

I looked it up on Wikipedia and it turned out

But there are other possibilities...
