Let's make sure you have enough room to install Microsoft Edge. Use Disk Cleanup to free up space:

  1. Select Start  > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup.

  2. Choose Drive C, and then select OK.

  3. Check the items you want to delete. Downloaded Program Files, Temporary Internet Files, Temporary Files, and Recycle Bins are generally safe to delete.

  4. Select OK.

  5. Select Delete Files.

After you free up some space, go to http://microsoft.com/edge to download and install Microsoft Edge. If you continue to get Error 12, try uninstalling some programs you don't need to free up more space.
