i recently was given a wiped hp stream 14-ax. i installed windows 10 onto it, but it pretty much filled the harddrive up (32gb). I heard that windows 10smode would be a better version but have since found that this is not available to me unless i pay a lot of money to hold an enterprise licence. I spoke with microsoft and was told by their help chat that I would be better to discard the machine.
i find this shocking that what appears to be a perfectly decent machine is completely obselete because of the size of the operating system.
Any suggestions?

Hi:
My understanding is that there is an OS out there called 'Tiny 10.'
That should take up less space.
This video shows the person installing Tiny 10 on an 18 GB hard drive.

The PC is only supported with drivers for W10 from HP, so you should make the 64-bit installation media.
