I've had to deal with this same problem for myself and others. I have a Dell Inspiron ultra-book with a 32GB SSD, and I found that having anything at all installed on the laptop causes "not enough room for update". This includes creating a second user account, installing software on the SSD and the only solution was to remove any and all such "extras".

You also have to run "Disk Cleanup" from File Explorer including cleanup of system files: earlier "Windows.old" folders are the first thing to go ... there is no rolling back to the previous version.

I've come to the conclusion that the ACCC here in Australia have missed the opportunity to force all shops to stop selling such crap: the minimum practical SSD would be at least 64GB, preferably 128GB.

They are not fit for purpose!

I don't buy it.

"variants like 'Birkenstock,' 'Bierkenstock,' and 'Birkenstok'"
That first mis-spelling is "B-R-I-Kenstock". Mind you, you're not the only one, it's taken me 10 minutes to realise what was going on ...

I voted "other" because I have a Nokia 302 with a keyboard in the same general form as the original Blackberry. It's not a touch screen, but it does everything I need in a hand-held device. I bought it in the days before decent data allowances for a cell-phone/mobile-phone so I don't even try to do social media, internet searching etc. I can make phone calls, SMS / text message, keep notes, take photos and store stuff I need on a microSD card. The one time I updated the software, I used wifi to my own internet modem. I don't need more than that!

Seems it's just being "re-homed" in the Windows Store, and will be available as a free download.

And for all those bemoaning it's loss when dealing with screenshots, Windows 10 has "Ink Workspace" that works well for screenshots. Just right click on the Taskbar and "enable Ink Workspace button".

I would like to point out in my defense, I am typing this on a laptop running Xubuntu ... I just teach people (as a volunteer) how to deal with Windows 10.

This is also the generation whose VCRs always flashed 00:00.

FTFY

Here in Australia it's called "chop-chop" and a few years ago a van full was stopped on a highway just west of my home town. The driver got 2 years to consider the folly of driving a van full of around a tonne of black market tobacco. But ... it was reported at the time that actually spotting one of these vans was difficult.

Australia is a land mass roughly the size of the continental U.S.A. but with a population less than a tenth of U.S.A. Patrolling our borders is done constantly, but there's a hell of a lot of coastline to be covered.

There are also a lot of tobacco farmers way up north who have been put out of business, but know how to grow tobacco really well. The more costly you make the legitimate product, the more tempting a little black market trading becomes.

I'm not really going to argue statistics, but I have Windows 10 installed on 3 different laptops ... and all of them dual-boot Xubuntu. So that's 3 less that they can really count on. Then again, dual-boot is not for everyone, even amongst my fellow LUG members.
One laptop (ultrabook) in particular has a dual core Celeron chip running at 1.1ghz, and only 2GB of RAM. I'm sure you can guess how well it runs Windows 10. Even when it had only Windows 8.1, it was a little slow. Running Xubuntu it behaves like a normal computer, boots in about 20 seconds, updates when they're available in a matter of seconds like any other of my laptops and performs quite well, even when running a couple of programs simultaneously.
I'm typing this on my main laptop, a Core i3 chip + 8GB laptop for which I had no recovery discs when it's HD died : I bought a 1TB spinning platter HD, and installed Xubuntu without a qualm. If I find myself buying a new PC with Windows 10 installed ... I might dual-boot ... or I might pull the HD out, stick another in and just run Linux!

I forgot to mention, for me it's been the Year of Linux on the Desktop for some time: I'm typing this on a HP Pavilion DV6 running ONLY Xubuntu 14.04.4 LTS, the HD died and there were no "Recovery Discs" for Windows.

I have 3 laptops with Windows 10 on them: 1 works fine, 1 works ... slowly, 1 has just died.
All three are dual-boot with either Xubuntu or Lubuntu.

The 1 working laptop is a HP Compaq CQ45 with 6GB RAM and a fast Quad core Celeron chip. I use it to demo Windows 10 which I "voluntarily teach" at the City Library. Whether I boot it to Windows 10, or Lubuntu 14.04.4 LTS it works well.

The 1 that works slowly is a ASUS Ultrabook with a slow Celeron chip (1.1 or 1.2 ghz) and 2GB RAM. It's as slow as it sounds. When I boot it to Xubuntu 14.04.4 LTS however, it works much better.

The 1 that has just died on it's Windows 10 install is a ASUS Ultrabook FS502C with a Pentium Dual Core 2117U and 4GB RAM. Xubuntu 14.04.4 LTS is running fine on this one too: that's how I identified the chip, with "System Profiler and Benchmark". I have to confess the Windows 10 install is probably a hodge-podge mess, as I had used it for the preview editions, and it took booting with a Win10 1511 DVD to restore it last time it died.

As a volunteer at the City Library, I've encountered many people having problems because their laptop upgraded without them having particularly intended to.
Even experienced people have been caught out, and I've taken great delight in sharing GWX Control Panel with those who are horrified by the possibility it will happen "behind their back". I've also made careful note of the mention of Never10 in discussions here :-)

My advice to people is, if you like Windows 7 or 8.1, don't upgrade to 10. The earlier versions will be supported for what will probably by the life of the average laptop (another 4 years or so), and if they then buy a new one, they get Windows 10 by default ... hopefully a mature product by then. I have one laptop that has Windows 7 and the afore-mentioned Xubuntu 14.04.4 LTS ... and I'm guarding Windows 7 like my life depends on it. I have a desktop PC with Windows 8.1: ditto.

Microsoft might be pushing Windows 10 because it will make life easier for them, but the way they're doing it is not making life easier for customers.
I acknowledge that ongoing development and security issues change things, which is why I accept the eventual upgrading of my Linux installations from one LTS version to the next, but if I've paid good money for an operating system, I expect to keep it as long as I want to!

I've thought for many years that police should be able to confiscate the phone from a texting driver, stick it under one of the cars wheels, and then wave them on their way. This alone ensures that, at least until they can get to a shop and buy a new phone, the nut holding the wheel can concentrate on driving safely.

Actually, if you had to download Outlook Express, which was the free email program at that time, a free copy of Word came along for the ride because it was actually the editor (in the background) for the purpose of writing / composing emails ...
