Asus T100 low SSD Space

[Cableguy]

Hi guys...

My T100 SSD is giving me problems!
I have gone trough all the installed apps and files to try to see what's consuming all the space up... still I am left with a few MB free space on the 32Gb SSD... which renders the laptop slow !
My T100 has a built in 1Tb HHD in the removable Keyboard, and I had selected it as a destination for any new apps, but it seems to be ignored...
Since it originally came with win 8.1 and I later upgraded it to WIN 10 with the online offer, I wonder if it will be too difficult to do a "from scratch" install of WIN10... I have a usb DVD drive I can use to burn in an image of the OS and then install it...
Is there any place where to get an "official" copy of WIN10, since I was intitled to it in the first place (?)

Simple's... https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10ISO

I'd install from USB, it's just as easy.

note : when prompted for serial .. choose skip this step > your win10 install will automatically be activated

I tried the media creation tool, but it claims to need 8GB to create the image and doesn't give me a choice for where to save it, so it just lets me close it

I could not determine the size of the ISO when I choose USB media, and although MS states only 3GB required , it prompted for 8GB usb as well.
(you would think there would be not much size difference)

Can you burn to DVD ? .. choosing this option your left with a 3.37GB ISO image for multiple burns if neccessary.

1. Accept licence terms
2. Create installation media for other pc
3. Select language bla bla
4. ISO file for DVD burn.

My problem is that I never get prompted for which type of media to create (USB/HDD/ISO ) and it just lets me close the program, after it tells me it needs 8GB space.

Strange ? I have the Iso for win10 Pro . If you have tools to burn bootable dvd I can upload for you if it is any use thru Dropbox .. (albeit slow upload)
I dont think there would be any issues technically if your version matches ?

Thanks @mangojack , will let you know when i get home... i have an usb dvd burner...

followed the technicalnotes site info and i'm downloading the iso.. . hopefully this weekend will do a clean install...

since I registered my email for the free upgrade, will I need to know my win8.1 product key?

Since you have already had Windows 10 installed on this machine it shouldn't require anything as it will automatically recognise the hardware.
