    What is Windows10Upgrade folder?

    Windows10Upgrade folder is not a part of the Windows 10 Operating system. It is created by the Windows 10 Update Assistant program when you install it on your computer to upgrade Windows 10 current version to the latest version available.

    Those users who don’t know about Windows 10 Update Assistant, it is a program released by Microsoft that lets users download and install latest version (feature update) on Windows 10.

    During the upgrade process, the program creates the Windows10Upgrade folder in the Windows 10 installation drive.

    Windows10Upgrade folder Purpose?

    While upgrading the current version of Windows 10 to the latest version available, the Windows 10 Update Assistant utilizes the Windows10Upgrade folder to temporarily keep the downloaded ESD files (the file that has a feature update). Once the upgrade process completes, the ESD files are automatically deleted from the system.

    During the upgrade process (when the program is downloading the feature update), the Windows10Upgrade folder consumes around 5GB of hard drive space. Once the upgrade process completes, it takes only 20MB.
