How big is your C drive?

 

According to this parts list you have a 1TB  7200 RPM drive and an optical drive (DVD/CD)

 

The spec for your motherboard does not list a hard drive but states an M.2 SSD slot is available.

Please run the following from the windows command ;prompt

wmic /namespace:\\root\microsoft\windows\storage path msft_disk get Model,BusType

BeemerBiker_0-1665538771563.png

 

17 is an M.2 SSD 

11 is SATA hard drive

7 is attached USB such as an SD card.

 

If you have a 256GB or smaller M.2 SSD you might want to upgrade to something like my SN570 which is 1TB

Thanks, I've decided to let the Geek Squad do the upgrade. This is beyond me.
