I am on Windows 7 and wish to upgrade to Windows 10, but I do not have enough disk space for the upgrade. I think that I need to upgrade to Windows 10 through Windows 7, rather than start from a reformatted hard disk.
The biggest chunk of disk space is taken up by the
winsxs
folder (some files are 6 years old), but the proper way isn't working. I ran Disk Cleanup as an admin, and the selection to clean up Windows Update files still doesn't appear:
I also tried DISM /online /Cleanup-Image /SpSuperseded
and got:
Service Pack Cleanup can't proceed: No service pack backup files were found. The operation completed successfully.
[EDIT] Trying to work out Disk Cleanup still. I have KB2852386 installed:
C:\Users\Zeno>wmic qfe | find "KB2852386"
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=2852386 WIN7SSD Update
KB2852386 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM 12/1/2013
Why is "Windows Update Cleanup" not showing up like it does here?
