  2. I am running Windows 10 on a Dell tablet with only 32 GB disk space. I can not install the latest update because my C drive is too full. I have tried disk cleanup several times but I do not get the System compression option or the Windows update cleanup option. Is there any other way to do this. I really need the apps to SD option in the new update.
