In reply to erdelf. I found it on the Microsoft Technet discussion site, but there was no explanation for it. I'm assuming it is a requirement because the upgrade uses the RSP as part of the process, so it takes up some disk space.

Ok thanks
I will try it

Is there any reason or logic behind this requirement ?

In reply to erdelf. It defaults to 100 mb, but it can be any size you want it to be. Use a partition editor, but be sure to remove the assigned partition letter (e.g. d:) when you reboot. I used Acronis Disk Director, but any reputable partition editor should do the trick.

Oh I am sry.
I thought you meant that…
how can the system reserved partition be bigger than 100 mb ?

I mean.. it is automatically made with 100 mb and I am failing to enhance it

In reply to erdelf. That's probably your OS boot partition. The system reserved partition is different.

The GWX screen also says : “…..Your notification to upgrade could come as soon as a few days or weeks”

In reply to erdelf. What size is your reserved system partition? It must be bigger than 350 megabytes.

You need two pieces of software to accelerate this process. The first is a partition editor – I used Acronis Disk Director, the second is the Microsoft Windows 10 Media Creation Tool (32 bit and 64 bit versions), which is available for download from their site. Enlarge your reserved system partition to anything above 350 megabytes – the default for Windows 7 is 100 megabytes. Once this is done, run the Media Creation Tool and select the “Upgrade this PC now” option. An hour later, you’ll have a shiny, new Windows 10 OS like me. Very good it is too.
