Hi, When I installed win10 fall update 1511 10586 on my HP Stream Tablet, there was not enough memory, so I just hooked up my external storage drive and it then installed great. Maybe that is what she needs to do. Have a great one.

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 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
