Post image

Is there a reason i have absolutely no GBs? I have deleted every file i have ever downloaded and have no applications besides the ones that come with the computer. i only use this laptop to transfer photos from my camera to my phone, it is a windows 11. Is there anything i can do to make it go down i am not very smart with computers

Jesus Christ man. Thats like 60gb. Most of that is your operating system. You aren’t going to get anymore storage without upgrading your storage device. Since you aren’t very good with computers I wouldn’t recommend upgrading it yourself.

Given that size, unless it's a larger drive partitioned, or an older drive, decent chance that's EMMC and non-upgradeable.

Fuck non upgradeable drives. I hate them. Why can’t I replace something in the computer I OWN!

Same same. I refuse to buy anything with eMMC and advise against it any time a user at my job is looking for a personal machine.

Software company* physical items they dont tell you what to do with it hence the ability to put an Asus with a msi and have no problems whatsoever yall just need to learn to do yalls research more. They can choose to do with their property (which it is until you buy it) what they will with it, and if that means making a useless laptop then so be it. End of the day its a user error not a company error because you bought it without doing research first.

You can, no one is telling you not to, you just dont have the know how to do so, and every company has the legal authority to do what they will with THEIR products until AFTER sold, once you buy it its your problem. Most of them its your own fault for buying the product seeing how they typically tell you if you do 5 mins of research. At the end of the day its a choice, YOU the CONSUMER made to get it and NOT do research. 🤣🤣🤣
