When I first started it up it was 170gb is there anyway to get it to at least 200? And what can I get rid of on an HP laptop that won’t screw it up?

    Ram and (ssd) storage are two different things. Also, both of those numbers, 8 gb of ram and 256 gb of disk space, are pretty low these days.

    Anyway, if you’re using the laptop with the software it came with, it might have a bunch of demo versions of useless apps put on for advertisement purposes. HP is (or at least used to be) notorious for this crap. Somewhere in the settings should be a page for apps that lists what’s installed, check there.

      256 is absolutely fine unless you work with video editing or games. If you’re just growing the net it’ll last you forever.
