I have got BIOS update available, but when I try to install it. It says not enough free disk space. How do I tackle this problem?

    What Dave said. Alternatively, please try this:

    From admin Command Prompt, please run:

    ***********************************************

    mountvol Y: /s

cd /d Y:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\Fonts

del *.ttf

dir Y:\ /s /a >c:\dir.txt

dir Y:\

    ***********************************************

    Post the output here.

    You're welcome :)

    If you'd like to resize the EFI partition, you can try what Dave said.

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    That indicates there is not enough space on the EFI partition on your drive, it is not referring to your C drive.

    Windows has very limited partitioning ability it is best to use some 3rd party partitioning tool to shrink some space (500MB) from the C drive and then add that space to the EFI partition, however, this is a complicated process and can cause your PC not too boot up if the process goes wrong, so if you are going to do this yourself, back up your files first.

    Hello,

    To fix this, you can go to Disk Cleanup by going to the Start Menu and typing cleanmgr, and then pushing enter. Let Disk Cleanup find files that it can delete, and then once it's done, you can either push the checkboxes to select what you want to clean, or you can push "Cleanup System Files" to check for leftover Windows installation files/folders. After you select what you'd like to clean up, push OK and then push the enter key on your laptop to delete these files. Make sure to read the descriptions of what selecting the categories to understand what selecting that category does. After Disk Cleanup deletes the files, restart your computer and then try again.

    Let me know how this goes.
