I had about 200KB of driver files left in Windows.old and I could not delete them. I booted to my Macrium Reflect USB drive and clicked on the small Explorer icon at the bottom of the screen and deleted the Windows.old folder.

After some unsuccessful upgrade attempts, I restored the factory image. Ran the mediacreation tool to do an inplace upgrade. After the upgrade, I deleted the original recovery partition, moved the new recovery partition to the end of the drive and extended the C drive to about 29GB in size...

I have both the Acer Switch 10 SW5-012 and the Asus T100 Chi both in 64GB versions. I got the Switch during Christmas for $299 and the Chi recently for $449. I love both devices. The Chi has a brighter higher resolution screen that supports an active stylus. I use the Dell A03 rev pen. The...

To gain more space, the WIMBoot option of Windows 8.1 update 1 gave me an extra 12GB of space on my 5 month old DV8P with my data and software. I have 18 GB free now.
