Addressing Error 0x800f0926: Ensuring Sufficient Disk Space for Windows 11 Install
Encountering the error code 0x800f0926 during your Windows 11 setup indicates a lack of sufficient disk space for the installation process. Follow these strategies to resolve the issue:
- Increase available space: Remove superfluous files or applications to clear up space. Employ the Disk Cleanup utility to eradicate temporary, system, and redundant files.
- Offload to additional storage: For valuable files you wish to keep, consider transferring them to an external hard disk or a cloud storage solution to liberate space on your system.
- Turn off hibernation: Hibernation mode reserves a substantial file size on your drive. Deactivate it by executing 'powercfg -h off' in an elevated Command Prompt.
- Deactivate system restore: System restore accumulates restore points which consume significant disk space. Disable it via the System Properties under System Protection settings.
- Utilize a cleanup software: Various dedicated disk cleaning applications are available such as CCleaner, Disk Cleanup Pro, and CleanMyPC to help release disk space efficiently.
After implementing these measures, attempt the Windows 11 installation once more to see if the issue has been resolved.
