IMPORTANT If your device is out of support, it is no longer receiving security updates from Microsoft and may become more vulnerable to security risks and viruses. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you update to the latest version of Windows 10. Each version of Windows 10 is supported for 18 months. After support ends, you must update to a newer version of Windows 10 to continue receiving Windows updates and security fixes. To learn more about the Windows lifecycle, see Windows lifecycle fact sheet. |

Important information about devices that have low disk space
When a Windows feature update is available for your device, you may see a message on the Windows Update settings page or elsewhere that asks you to free up disk space by removing files or applications that you do not use regularly. If you see this message, select Fix issues to free up disk space on your device.
After the Windows update has installed, some users may be prompted to restart their device. See Free up drive space in Windows 10 for more information about other ways that you can free up disk space on your device.
Compressing files
To help free up disk space, this update may compress files in your user profile directory so that Windows Update can install important updates. When files or folders are compressed, they appear as having two blue arrows overlaid on the icon. Depending on your File Explorer settings, you may see icons that look larger or smaller. The following screen shot shows an example of these icons.
After you install the update, your files are restored to their original state, and the blue arrows disappear from the file icons in File Explorer. At any point during the update process, you should be able to access your files.
Microsoft Support notification
This update may display a notification on devices that are running low on space. If selected, this notification will open a Microsoft Support URL in the default browser with contact options for Microsoft support so you can easily get help freeing up space on your device.
Disk Cleanup
When this update is installed, new options for cleaning up disk space will be available to make it easier for you to update your device when it is low on disk space. If a feature update fails due to a low disk space, you can help increase storage space by using the Disk Cleanup tool or selecting “Free up space now” in Settings / Storage. These will help you remove unused files and free up storage space before a major feature update.
