orry, but these new PCs that come with only 32GB of storage use an M.2 SSD -- which is actually a stick of memory configured to act like a storage device.

There are serious problems in trying to replace these with larger SSDs:
1) Have to completely disassemble the PC in order to get at the SSD -- no longer a simple matter of removing a screw in a an access latch
2) Lack of External USB-to-SSD adapters -- so you can't hook up a new M.2 SSD to your PC and migrate your existing setup to the new SSD.

You're basically stuck with what you have.

Here are some things you can do to recover some of the disk space:

Also, the community Win10 Forums has the following suggestions:

In addition, I have found the utility Cleanmgr+ to have LOTS of options for removing Windows junk, including log files. I use it practically every day. You can get it from here:

Also, there is a freeware app known as Wise Disk Cleaner. I use it every day to get rid of junk files: https://www.wisecleaner.com/wise-disk-cleaner.html
