How the hell do I upgrade Win10 to latest version when the current win10 takes up 20Gb and the upgrade is requesting 20Gb. I have moved what I can to a SSD card and currently have 3Gb left, but why is Microsoft requesting another 20Gb to perform an upgrade.

Because the upgrade works. Windows is installed over the current location, and your files and applications are moved to another portion, have you tried using a flash drive and starting the setup from that location? – Ramhound Jul 09 '16 at 23:46

An Microsoft employee explained it here in a video. You need to attach a USB hub and insert 2 16GB USB thumb drives. On 1 drive you put the extracted ISO and the 2nd one must be empty and during running setup.exe from the 1st USB drive, it shows you that you need more space:
Select here the 2nd empty drive as temporary drive (Choose another drive or attached external drive).
