windows 10 upgrade error

[tremmor]

Trying to download only but looks like it was going to maybe install.
Get error with Windows 7 Pro ver. Says Windows 10 couldn't be installed.
We couldn't update the system reserved partition.
when i followed up at Microsoft it says something about the partition
being to small. didn't make sense to me. Its a Intel SSD 180 gig.
Says 59.2 being used / 108.6 free. Any suggestions?
thanks

Again and different error now. Said ready to be installed.
Windows 10 couldn't be installed. We couldn't update the
reserved partition.

How are you trying to update exactly? Are you clicking on the update icon in the task bar or did you manually download the Windows 10 update?

Also, to free up space try uninstalling software you aren't using and move large documents or media files to another drive if available.

many programs are installed on the D:drive already.

That won't make any difference. It's looking for the system reserved partition, which probably doesn't exist.

Do you still have the 100mb partition that 7 makes when you installed it?

I once had the same problem. I fist tried to free more than 50 MB free on system partition. I ran the Windows 10 upgrade, and this time it got further before failing and failed with a different message .
At this point I drag the OS partition to resize it a bit smaller and then extend the system reserved partition to make it bigger with AOMEI Partition Assistant. I shrunk my OS partition by 200 MB and increased the system reserved partition to 350 MB. Then, Windows has to be rebooted for the tool to make the change. this time I run the upgrade successfully.
