Windows 10 is composed of a series of add-ons that have been integrated to optimize the use of the system and with which it is possible that each part works in the correct way, so when we access the C drive (where the operating system is hosted) , we can see a folder called Windows10Upgrade :
This folder allows the Windows 10 image ESD file to be downloaded there and the system update processes can be carried out comprehensively. This folder is not available in the first steps of the system, it is created at the time of installation and use of the Windows 10 Update Wizard which is a tool designed by Microsoft with which it is possible to update Windows 10. It is normal that when We update our system, there is a folder that houses these installation files but that we can then delete so that it does not take up space ..
