    I have been using Parallels 11 on Mac Pro with Windows 10 for the last 6 months. For the last couple of weeks I have been getting Windows 10 error messages saying the it can't install the latest update. I have tried to remove applications on the window machine to create room on the Virtual Machine but it has helped. Is there something I should be looking for to help with the Windows update?

    It would be helpful if you showed us the error message and how much free space does Windows disk have.

    I'm so thick - I looked at the free disk space and saw that it didn't have enough space for the large update. I increased it and the update worked. Thanks
