When upgrading Windows 10 on a small HP Stream with limited drive space, I get an error code 0xC190020E.
Here are some steps to possibly get past this obstacle:
- Bring up task manager (ctrl-alt-del). Kill the windows update application.
- Bring up task manager (ctrl-alt-del). Switch over to the services tab. Stop the 'wuauserv' service.
- In control panel - programs and services - delete the windows update program
- Using file manager, delete c:\windows\SoftwareDistribution
- Using file manager, delete c:\Windows10Upgrade
- Right click the trash bin and empty the contents
- Connect a large USB drive, 10G or more, identify drive letter (probably d:)
- Start cmd.exe in administrator mode, run these commands:
- mkdir d:\microsoft
- mkdir d:\microsoft\updates
- mkdir d:\microsoft\upgrades
- mklink /j c:\windows\SoftwareDistribution d:\microsoft\updates
- mklink /j c:\Windows10Upgrade d:\microsoft\upgrades
- start microsoft update
- it should start to use the USB drive for files. you will need at least 8G free on the c: drive for the process.
- hopefully the upgrade process works for you, it did for me
