why does win 10 anniversary require 16Gb free space

[Windows Central Question]

Prior versions of Win 10 had a streamlined install, didnt' need this much space. Basically means unable to upgrade tablets with smaller amount of space? is this part of their plan to make some products 'not upgradeable' when they decide end-of-life?

It's the 520MB of ram situation all over again.

it's been a big issue - maybe you can use an external card or USB?
