storage issue

[Joey6]

I need to make more room in internal ssd with only 28.7 gigs of which I'm using 26.2 gigs, Can't update windows, Can't install my copy MS Office Pro.

I installed a Micro SDXC  card128 gig format NTFS and under setting I changed location to my SD card S:\ For Docs, Music, Pics, & Videos. 

I was not able to change New App location because it was grayed out and couldn't change this to my SD card.

How can I change/fix this problem.

I deleted all programs that I could and moved all data files to a backup drive.

Please Help Me Resolve this issue..

Thank You....

You can't install programs to removable storage, Windows won't allow that.

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: https://www.getclone.app/download/category/11-cleanmgr

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

Thank You for the reply and information you provided concerning my issue.

I've been researching this issue and read an article with an Acer laptop that had similar specifications and issues as my HP Stream 13 laptop, with the Acer laptop it was able to set the new program install to SD card and was not grayed out in setting (Storage) like in mine using windows 10 Home, surely there most be an answer to fix this.

Maybe there is something here that I missed, Here is the article link: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/askjack/2017/jan/05/what-is-the-best-way-to-deal-with-windows...

Thank You again for your help...

Yeah, I read that article --but everyone who has complained bitterly about the lack of storage in these models has claimed that installing apps to the SD card did not work.  I don't have to to try and am only repeating what I'd heard. 

IF it works for you, then great!
