I have used the Assistant and have allowed it to assist in freeing up space. As you know it requires 20GB and I only have 13GB. I have seen elsewhere that a choice to use a USB drive with enough free space will allow the update to proceed BUT I cannot access this option. I have tried installing a USB stick and external HDD BUT to no avail. Yes, in File Explorer the drive(s) are seen. How can I proceed?
Regards.
Are you saying you only have 13GB of space on your C: drive or USB drive?

I think he is talking about HDD because he is talking about assistant (meaning Cortana) but I don't how 20gb is enough for an operating system, it is not the recommend amount anyway

To be clear: Surface 3 - 64bit x64 based processor - 2GB RAM - 64GB SSD with 13GB FREE SPACE
I have both a USB Stick and Ext HDD that have more than 20GB free space.
Yes,Microsoft states that the update requires 20GB. The point I am making is that a YouTube video showed the update assistant with a drop down for selecting a USB device. I am referring NOT to Cortana but to the
Anniversary Update Assistant that is also referenced in Brian's demo.
I hope this is now clear and look forward to your guidance for which I thank you.
will never the less you still need 20GB free or more on the Surface 3
also can you paste a Link to Brian's demo.video?
Are you trying to install Windows or are you trying to make bootable disk so that you can install windows to a desktop in the future ?
