I was trying to upgrade my Windows 7 installation to Windows 8 via the upgrade asistant, and after it checks for incompatible programs and I choose to order it it stops telling me that I need to have 5GB of free space in my C drive.
How can I bypass this restriction, or at least tell it to download, etc. in another drive? It is impossible for me to have 5GB of free space in C due to its size and the programs I have installed.
(Note that I already deleted Internet cache and cia to have a bit more space)
I am pretty sure based on that size you are actually downloading Windows 8 at that point. You could always just request the physical product and use that, and simply skip, the upgrade assistant. – Ramhound – 2012-11-08T12:36:00.593

Is that before or after the the "Install Windows 8" screen where it asks if you want to "install now" or "install by creating media"? Which option did you go with?

Thank you for your assistance. – Jeff – 2012-11-08T17:40:27.220
