    an update on this....

    so ive been playing with this this morning.
    ive upgraded from 10s to 10 pro with no hassle at all.... just select the upgrade, no cost.

    ive 38.4gb left from 56.9gb on the emmc HD after this upgrade... without doing any clean up.
    which suits the usage of it fine as it will be simply be a word processor and all savings to the cloud.

    running the clean up linked above only removed 308mb...

    ive timed the start up from off to PIN page at 25 seconds
    so first impressions are quite good for a €200 laptop

    What do you think of the machine anyway.

    I'm happy enough that it will do what my wife needs it for but will reserve judgment until she had used it a while.

    On the older machines with 32gb you can't download the large updates there isn't room. Do you have to wipe and fresh install. So the M2 slot would solve that. The windows update is too stupid to use a external drive.

    No wipe, I just ran windows update to version 1803 and then disabled S mode using Windows Store.
    Although I did read that performing a clean install would be better and prob use a little less space
