You probably have a backup of your old OS.
You can delete it. The folder name is something like Windows.old.
Also make sure to clean up temp files
press Win + R
Type %temp%
Delete everything except the files you can't.

I can help you out with this.

Goto Settings -.> Updates -> Advanced Options -> Delivery Optimization -> 'Disable / Uncheck' Allow Downloads from other PC

Restart your system

Hover your mouse on the windows logo -> Right Click -> Goto System -> Goto Storage -> Free up Space Now -> Purge all of the junk and updates stuff

There is another step to it. Let me know if this hasn't cleaned up your pc !!

Nope. Activate your windows digitally like I did. The benefit I get is that even if I format and reinstall even from original windows DVD, I don't have to insert any serial code and my windows get activated automatically from Microsoft Servers.

Nope. It's been a long time since i have used any key for Windows 10 !!

I created,locked my hardware and generated a Digital Key and registered on Microsoft Servers and linked with my Microsoft account. So whenever I used my email, the servers recognize it and registers the computer it.

Hmm this seems a little complex procedure to me.

Actually, I had to mix different scripts to make it work.

The Activators nowadays available are junk and are prone to slowing down your system in the long run. So, it's better to avoid them at all cost.

HWIDGen works like a charm.

Activated W10 Pro using HWID and W10 LTSC using KMS38.

The most seamless and quick activation process I've ever used.

Nothing can be as seamless and quick activation as licensing your whole computer on Microsoft servers and never to worry about entering licensing keys or crappy activators whenever you format your system (lmao)

Well, I don't know about PG's policy regarding sharing activators as they are normally illegal. But then, you can easily Google them up to download them. Please scan them up using http://virustotal.com as they are infested with all sort of malware and stuff.

As for my scripts, well … :wub:

Are you really hesitating to share some scripts which are not even the official paid way to activate windows? Just help the guy dude. PM him, PG has no strict rules against it. It's "Private message" for a reason.

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
