Upgrading Small Tablets to Windows 10

[tohoshinki]

I've searched and searched but have so far found nothing about this, excuse me if this hasnt been posted.

Does the Windows 10 upgrade work on small tablets? So far all ive found are people manually installing the ISOs and drivers which is a mess.

Can anyone confirm it working on a 32GB windows tablet?

Running great on my 32 GB 10.1 inch HP Omni 10.

To my knowledge, most tablets are Windows 8 with Bing, and MSFT mentioned they hadn't finalised how to upgrade these versions.
I might be wrong, or using outdated information...

its working but you will lose wimboot partition

upgraded my hp pavilion x2 10 2in1 (32GB) with 8.1+Bing to windows 10. It will remove the wimboot partition and you basically get that space back (+/- 2-3GB). after the upgrade, you will get windows 10 home.

I have a HP Pavilion 13-p111nr x2 and according to their website, tablets/laptops with less than 128GB free space will need an external hard drive in order to complete the upgrade. I keep getting an error code and I cannot complete the upgrade.

I had it running on a Dell Venue Pro 8 inch with 32gb hard drive. All was running well, but I rolled back to 8.1 because I wasn't a fan of the edge browser for tablets.

I'm running it on a Linx 8 32gb. No big issues, even have more free space space than I did using 8.1 even with Office installed

Did you have to do anything to make it work? I think I did not have enough disk space when I tried the first time and I got a 'Something happened' error message. Now I am downloading the OS on USB stick and deleted what I could, including the recovery partition.

To me is help factory reset, restoring initial state, then immediate upgrade via downloading mediacreationtool.exe and then choosing upgrade.

Thanks. I will try that if what I have started fails again.

I copied the iso to a SD card and ran setup from there on a Stream 7.

I have an SD card. When I used the ISO tool and installed directly it gave me the option to store the download files on the SD card. Everything went smooth once I tried using the ISO tool.

I upgraded yesterday with the media tool without creating an ISO first. It went relatively quickly, too, thanks for the tips.

I installed Win10 on my HP Stream 7 via Windows Update as an in-place upgrade this morning. Went fine -- actually, it went much faster than I expected. I wish MS gave some more tips on "tablet mode" vs "desktop mode" on tablets, though, as I couldn't find my way back into OneDrive settings after telling it not to sync anything at first while in tablet mode (no icons on taskbar in tablet mode).

Upgraded my Acer W4 last weekend.

Initially after the upgrade, there was some screen lag but after Windows 10 installed some updates and restarted, it was smooth.

Installed mine by extracting the Win 10 installation files from the ISO and running the setup from my SD card. Needed at least 6 gb free. The installation took some time and had me worried that it was stuck. Fortunately, it installed successfully and there was no major issues.

I haven't but i would guess it won't be a problem as long as the tablet has an SD slot.

I updated an Acer Iconia W3-810 with 32 GB successfully. However, OneDrive had completely filled the rest of available memory, and clearing 15 GB of free space would be a challenge, so I did a Keep Nothing upgrade with a USB stick. Worked fine.

In tablet mode, hold the finger on taskbar until menu pop-up then choose Show all notification icons.
