Dear Sir/Madam,
Good day to you,
One & half year ago I bought a HP Pavilion X2-10-n202nt. Due to my opinion "HP" was the biggest PC producer in the world and knows PC/laptop biz very well .
But I was failed in my opinion because the laptop/tablet is already using 2/3 of its 32GB eMMC hard drive for windows 10.
I just formatted the laptop again and there is not any installed program in it except windows 10, however at the moment it can not get a single windows 10 update due to eMMC hard drive space.
We (I think there are lots of HP X2 detachable users ) are suffering from the same problem because our new brand HP product became a simple "TRASH" within a year....
And I m very very surprised that how that HP can produce this kind of product like a simple /unkown brand?
We as users may not know if 32 gb eMMC is enough for windows 10 or not and also how much space of it that Win 10 using, but HP should know it. And I learned that there is not a way to upgrade the eMMC drive for HP X2 detachable.
So waiting your commets on it and hope you can advise a solution to fix this problem...

I am not going to disagree but keep in mind these units were sold at prices below the cost of production because of subsidies. Also, the size of the storage was mentioned. HP was not the only manufacturer offering these units (Lenovo also sold lots of them) so you cannot equate HP quality with a feature of the computer that was not hidden from anyone.
Having said that I will acknowledge these little units are a problem. All you can really do is insert an SD card permanently and mount it as a storage drive like D:\. Move the "Library" (docs, pics, downloads, videos) files to it and follow some disk space management practices like minimize the virtual memory (swap) space, turn off hibernation and put any Store apps on the SD card. You can also download the updates to the D:\ (SD) so their mere storage does not take up space.
If you are only using 2/3 of the 32 gigs you are way ahead of most people who completely run out of space.
Happy to discuss further if you wish.
