Hi,
Can anyone please help me to decide if I need to replace my notebook's motherboard in order to get more storage or external HDD will be a better option.
Below are the details of my laptop's specification:
Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU N2840 @ 2.16GHz
RAM: 2GB
System type: 64 bit OS, x64-based processor.
I'll be mainly using the laptop for photo editing like Adobe softwares, storing my raw as well as edited photos and other documents.
I have bought the laptop in January 2015 and haven't faced any issues till now.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance. 🙂

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I's suggest you to either store the data on an external Hard Drive or on a cloud account as this PC has a 32 GB eMMC which is soldered on to the motherboard.
For more information, please refer to -
- Free up space on the hard drive

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Hi Ashmita thanks for your reply. I have uploaded all my documents to cloud and I could free up only around 1GB space and while working online, my computer is getting hung as my driver's space is getting used up with temporary files. Every time I delete those and have to restart my laptop to make it work normal.
Please suggest.

Hi Asmita,
I perform those cleanup tasks whenever I login. I'm attaching the screenshot of my laptop's current situation along with Volume details.
I'm unable to work at all. After deleting cache and everything, it's showing 124 MB free space is available.
P.S. No additional softwares are installed. In fact have deleted 5-6 softwares (default) provided by Microsoft and HP.
Cheers
