I have a new HP Omen 870-040na product no w3d62eahabu and am trying to use it to download images from my portable hard drive into the Pictures folder. However I keep getting an error message saying that there is insufficient disk space for the images I am copying. I am not an expert in computers but had thought that this computer had 2tb of storage. Why then do I get a message like this?

Hey!
Thank you for getting back to me. I absolutely understand! Buying new products, getting to know them, personalizing them and fiddling with them can be a lot of fun, but sometimes it can be frustrating.
It seems that the C:/ drive was set for much smaller files. Without being able to see it physically, I assume that your Operating System, Recovery Manager and other system files are stored to your 256GB drive or C:/ drive.
I would suggest to use the 2TB D:/ drive to put all of your pictures and personal files on as it is bigger and that can be designated for you :). Although it seems confusing, it really is a good thing!
I would like to provide you with your OMEN by HP Desktop PC - 870-040na User Guides and Manuals. That way if you want to read about your product, the option is there for you.
I hope that this helps!
