Did a little searching and ran across recommendations to increase the size of the reserved partition. It is probably full with the Lenovo files and Windows 10 needs some space to put in its own files. One user suggested just going to the reserved partition and deleting some of the "font" files which can be quite large. Here is one thread on the subject:
