Microsoft clears up doubts and explains how the Reserved Space works in the installation of Windows 10 May 2019 Update

"

One of the novelties that have arrived with Windows 10 May 2019 Update has been the option offered to improve the installations by reserving space on the hard drive of our computer in a way that no errors arise during the process related to lack of space."

"

Windows 10 May 2019 Update requires 32 GB of available space storage (a space called “Reserved Storage or Reserved System) in the PC to carry out the installation.A remarkable amount of space that Microsoft has gone on to detail to alleviate the doubts of the most suspicious."

32 GB…only on modern computers

The first one that arose referred to the equipment that did not have said capacity available Is it to be assumed that they cannot access So much to update to be done with Windows 10 May 2019 Update? In the American company they have stepped forward to clarify doubts.

And this measure is above all focused on devices that are reaching the market These are going to require those 32 GB of ability to carry out the installation. But on older computers, those that already have Windows 10 April 2018 Update or Windows 10 October 2018 Update and that cannot access as many free gigabytes, the installation will continue to work.

Therefore even if they do not meet the 32 GB free criteria, these users will be able to upgrade their computers to the Windows 10 May 2019 Update if they have at least 20 GB of free storage space. Therefore, the same amount of space that was required in the previous installations will suffice. This is Microsoft's explanation on their support page:

In addition, and by the way, they warn you that this space reservation function is not established by default There is no need to worry about running out of space in a certain moment, but that yes, when carrying out an installation and having the hard disk full to the brim, there will be no choice but to brush and delete data until the minimum necessary space is achieved.

"

So, if you&39;re coming from an earlier version of Windows 10 you don&39;t have to worry. Windows 10 May 2019 Update will arrive on your computer as soon as you want to get hold of it by going to the Windows Update section in the Settings menu."
