Product: HP Pavilion x360 — 14-ba023ur
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

hi,

 

bought this laptop a month ago, without Operating system.

 

Downloaded, and installed Windows 10 pro (64 Bit) corporate version.

 

Since a month of usage, just noticed only 30 gb of Disk space left, out of 103 GB ......Strange, its meant to be 1 TB.

 

Can someone help me understand the situation?

You have 2 hard drives:

 

https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05537559

 

Its a 128 gig M.2 and then a 1 TB regular mechanical hard drive. By default the OS is intalled on the faster M.2 solid state drive and that is what you are seeing. Its possible the 1 TB has not been initialized so Windows can see and use it. 

 

Open disk management

and see what is shown there for storage drives...you may have one big "unallocated" space and if so it is easy to initialize and format it and then move your "Library" files to the bigger disk like docs downloads, music, videos, etc. This should keep the 128 gig M.2 from filling up. 

 

Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if its the info you needed.
