I have the Acer R3-131T with the 32gb eMMc disc soldered to the board. As has been said unless you have specialised micro desoldering/soldering tools it cant be replaced upgraded, it will NOT be cost efective!!
I had the same issue with a couple of other devices when windows 10 first came out. In fact win10 “will not install to a 32gb drive under any circumstances” no matter which of the native options it provides that you might choose when upgrading OS!
(Microsoft had already all but stated in a press release that they didnt want their new OS running on small drives that would not run their OS profficiently and therefore making users critical of its performance).
The most cost effective work around is the one that Tim Cull posted. I have bought very cheap 8gb nano usb flash drives/micro sdcards and used the disc management tool to include these flash drives as “internal” storage to extend the size of the eMMc for all my 32gb devices including cheap tablets with micro sdcard slots and done fresh installs from a separate usb stick containing the latest mounted ISO of windows 10.
There are videos of how to use disc management tool to extend internal storage easily. Once you have done this although your device can boot up without the nano inserted, all that you will have to remember to do is to ensure the nano usb drive IS in its port each time you boot up your device. Essentially the nano usb drive WILL always occupy one of your usb ports on your device and be recognised as part of internal storage.
All my originally 32gb, nano usb extended devices are running perfectly fast and automatically update windows 10 without problems.

Hi Angelo, did you manage to find a solution to this?
I have the same problem and Asus support does not seem to know how to address this.

You should also provide what CPU you have onboard. Microsoft Windows 10 fall creators 2017 does not support older atom processors.

There are a couple of options: First, you can upgrade the eMMC flash. Watch this video.

As you can see from the video, you'll have to open the netbook, desolder (via heat) the chip on the mobo, and install the new chip. Whether that board/bios can support a 128gb eMMC chip is unknown to me as of yet, but a 128GB card IS available.

Second, you can work with what you have and install a Linux distro instead. However, that can be problematic too.
Also, the other poster is correct. What were they thinking in designing a netbook that only has 32GB eMMC with no possibility for HDD/SSD upgrade/use and not allowing system memory to be sent to a card? Further, with Win10 as the OS, since it has constant updates, when you get this netbook you barely have 13GB to start. I doubt that this netbook would have sold nearly as well if people had known of this hardware/software issue.
