Had the same problem the new down load is taking at least one g or so if you have a 4 G or less you need to talk to a professional. I would recommend Quality Computer he has been around for 30 years and will respected he is in Cedar Rapis Iowa. You use be able to turn off any up dates if you had an older computer but they have a way around that. The reason to force you to buy a new computer this is what happens when we let one company control the operating system. Mfg know this so they are dumping older operating systems on the matket at a discounted price. Buyer beware.

It depends on the size of the windows update mostly more than the capacity of this pen drive.

Yes, but you probably want to free up some space to actually install the program and run windows efficiently.

This 32G usb has plenty of space and speed to download most anything. 
You say your computer is running low on memory. Do you mean low on storage? Do you disk clean, and defragment your computer? Do you have too many downloads in your download folder, or do you need to put some of your stuff (pics, docs etc) in an online storage or on a usb or sd card to make more room in your computer? 
I notice on my windows 10 computer, after many updates, the disk space gets fuller and fuller. In Disk Cleanup, there is a tab to clean up "system files", there, you can delete old windows installations, which will make more room. If something goes wrong with your computer, there is a system reserve that you can clean it up with, so don't worry too much about doing that.

My husband had a problem loading Office 365 on his computer. We purchased the storage device at the recommendation of the Microsoft and Best Buy computer techs. When MS tech was working on the problem, he said that Windows 10 had improperly downloaded to his computer. So, using my computer to temporarily download his data, they removed Windows 10 and reinstalled it. However, they were never able to get Office 365 to download to his computer even with the additional use of the storage device Their reason was inadequate storage.

No, this acts as external memory so the update won’t install to this flash drive. You can move files from the computer to this flash drive to free up space
