I've finally managed to update to Windows 10 version 1511, here's how

After months of frustration I've finally took the time to update my Intel Compute Stick 1st gen to Windows 10 version 1511.
I tried updating it through Windows 10 Update but I would get the error that I needed at least 16Gb of free space on the stick in order to proceed, that of  'course is ridiculous since it only has 20Gb of free space in total so I got a USB drive with more than 4 gigs and I used the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool found at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 , just hit download tool now, run it and then select Create installation media for another PC then your language, Windows 10 32 bit and your USB drive letter for the download process to start. After the tool finishes go to your USB drive and run Setup.exe
