Yes sir, Brian. That's exactly correct. I don't know if you read my previous message or not, but I bought this tablet before my friend did, and I was able to install Windows 10 on mine with no problem. Same specs and basically same programs. I may have had a couple of extra programs on mine, but I was using it with Windows 8.1 for a while before upgrading. I think I even had music.
My friend's tablet has JAWS, MS Office 2013, and Windows Live mail. I never got the message to "get Windows 10" so I was just going online, and it started out OK, but as you suspected, it said I needed at least 8 gb of memory. Again, what I don't understand (it's a mystery)why was I able to do mine with no problem and hers is giving me the message of not enough memory? I hate to tell her I may not be able to help her, but if I can't find a good solution, that may have to be the case. My Windows 10 installation went flawlessly.

By that I mean through the "Get Windows 10" process that showed up in the system tray where you "reserved" a copy (or are now being nagged) or via external media? If the former, you might want to visit the Microsoft Media Creation Tool <https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10> pages and see what the steps would be to update by creating the installation media on a USB drive and booting from that to do the upgrade. I suspect, though, that the issue really is that there is not enough memory needed to complete the installation. The files, once they're unzipped, probably take somewhere in the double-digits gigs of memory during the install process but are then deleted after it is complete. From what I can find online there are people who've successfully upgraded this device to Windows 10. Brian
