How to add disc space to HP Stream Laptop 14-ax0XX

[Foster50]

I have a HP Stream Laptop 14-ax0XX .....  it says I have no disc space available.    Would I add an external hard drive    ,   SSD or anything else to increase the disc space ??  

Thank you.

Hi:

You can add a SD card to store your files on.

The only good way to maximize the disk space would be to clean install W10.

During the installation process, delete all of the partitions, so you just have the one partition set to the maximum size.

You can do that step at the 'where do you want to install windows' screen.

That will give you more room for future updates.

You can make a W10 USB flash drive installer with the Microsoft Media Creation Tool, using an 8 GB flash drive using another Windows PC, if your PC is not working.

If you are asked to enter a product key during the installation process, select the 'I don't have a product key' option, and W10 will install and automatically activate once you are connected to the internet.

Here are the steps to create the W10 USB flash drive installer...

Select Download tool now, and select Run.

If you agree to the license terms, select Accept.

On the What do you want to do? page, select Create installation media for another PC, and then select Next.

Select the language, edition, and architecture (64-bit or 32-bit) for Windows 10. You want 64 bit.

Select which media you want to use:

USB flash drive. Plug in a blank USB flash drive with at least 8GB of space. Any content on the flash drive will be deleted.

Then you can reinstall the drivers and available software from the PC's support page.
