When MS first tried to update me to 22H2 it broke my laptop. Thanks to kind help from members of this great forum in another thread I finally got my laptop working again. But now I have read that MS is going to give it another try. Apparently what broke my machine was not enough scratch space ("The scratch directory size might be insufficient ...). So what's the easiest way to get a lot more scratch space? I thought all I'd have to do is find the scratch directory and I could figure it out from there. But I couldn't find a scratch directory.

I'll be grateful for any assistance. Thanks, Bob

Hi Bob,
You can have control of your scratch directory.
I would advise you to take a look at this article which requires the use of DISM.
