So I've got an HP laptop with a small 32gb ssd, and needed more storage to update to the latest version of windows. (8gb) I had 4gb of storage left to begin with, after deleting unused programs/HP bloatware. After that, I decided to compress the drive in the disk properties. after it was finished, I only had 2gb of storage. So, I tried uncompromising it, and had 500mb left of storage. I checked system restore, ran disk cleanup, and ran ccleaner with no success. Where did the storage go? There has to be some sort of backup somewhere, right?

The two biggies in there is the Runtime Provisioning (red space), and the 2 green spaces which are the pagefile and hibernation.
But...that 32GB eMMC drive is always going to be problematic with Windows updates.
(I have an Asus Transformer with a similar drive)
How to update?
From a different system, create a Win 10 USB install. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Boot from that, and it will run the Update on the system, and keep everything in place.
