Hi Bob, It has 30 gigglybits hard drive, and 1 gig RAM, perfectly useable for normal purposes but 1703 upgrade needs 2gig RAM or it won't handle it using the usual upgrade assistant, via normal updates.


Once the upgrade has been achieved (and you can then dump Windows Old and all the other junk) then you have plenty of both for normal activity; it is just the creation of the 'RAM Disc function' using internal RAM that causes the problem. On a 'normal' system you could use 'Readyboost' to give you the extra RAM but this is disabled if an SSD is installed.


Using a main PC to create an installation media USB stick, then using that to load the upgrade into the tablet works fine. You need a USB stick of at least 5Gig (I used 8GB) plus an 'On the Go' (OTG) adapter to feed it in and it works. Recommend uninstalling the 'Upgrade Assistant' (which will have installed via updates) before starting and of course doing all the usual housekeeping and making sure you are fully charged before kick-off.


Just a word of caution re 'ONE DRIVE' - this can be very useful for shoving stuff from the main comp to the tablet, however, if you delete stuff in the system, either on the tablet or 'in the cloud', it can delete that stuff in the main unit - not a good idea ! To be used with caution !
