Hi, I am trying to upgrade my PC from Windows 7 to Windows 10, but I am facing a problem. The error code is 0x80070070. How can I fix this error?
The 0x80070070 error code means you do not enough space on your hard drive to install Windows 10.
Method 1
Make space in the hard drive.
Delete the files that you do not need. You should have at least 32 GB of free space in your hard drive.
a. Right-click on the start menu.
b. Open Disk Management.
c. Right-click on the drive where you will install Windows. I am considering C as the default one.
d. Open Properties.
e. Go to Disk Cleanup.
f. Delete the temporary files, Recycle Bin files, etc. Do not delete any system files.
g. Click on OK.
h. Delete files.
i. Try to install Windows now.
Method 2
If you do not have sufficient space in one drive, you can take space from other drives.
a. Open Disk Management.
b. Right-click on D drive (Considering, you want to increase C drive space).
c. Click on Shrink Volume.
d. Type the space that you need in C drive in MB (around 32 GB).
e. Click on Shrink.
f. Now, right-click on C drive.
g. Click on Extend volume.
h. Take all the space form the unallocated drive.
i. Extend volume.
j. Try to install Windows now.
