technically its supposed to be an alternative to ChromeOS but think about Windows 10 on 32gb is not enough i have a laptop that has 64gb of emmc storage and 64gb is 10 times better then 32 gb 81 programs installed= 20.1 gb free of 57.1 compared to 27.8 gb
In here because I have the older 16 GB up stream it hasn't update since right after I got it I finally found a factory reset on it but it tells me I don't have enough memory for that either it's starting to glitch in at a loss with it
My cousin has this laptop and she literally has no programs installed on it or any files and it's 99% full. It makes it inoperable. You can't do anything on it! And the hard drive is irreplaceable because it's welded to the motherboard. Wtf. Hp is dumb for making such products. I can't believe a professional company made this. This is just a brick reimagined.
I have it too I hate it but I got it 3 years ago for a Christmas gift and the update and system took up 27 gb and I got it for games I’m not a hardcore gamer and well this isn’t even enough to get Minecraft or even install steam itself and it’s just so awful
And sometimes it won’t even let me log in because no new users can sign in and I’m like brooooo you are my laptop I’m not new I’ve been with you for 2-3 years!!! 😂 I just checked and 29.1 gb used about of 29.1 gb
This laptop was a scam. Cant beleive they would get away with selling us an incomplete product. Why tf would u give us a laptop with 32 gb and no c drive room to get windows 10. Smh
thank you so so so much for this video it has cleared up 6 gb on my small 32 GB laptop and I really needed that to download an app on my computer and I didn't know how to clean up more than those small little MB files that they say they can delete
I need to free up 8GB of space so that my laptop can install the windows 10 ISO to my new computer. After doing this method, 2GB was freed up from the disk cleaner, and another 1.5GB was cleared from deleting one of the Microsoft Office folders in Program Files. Only 3.5GB removed so far, but I am finding more methods to clean the laptop
I've done everything and still don't have enough space to do the upgrade. There is nothing on my computer except the basic system and I can't upgrade it. I'm so pissed off. I'm considering obtaining a lawyer. If they are going to sell products that will be obsolete before the warrantee is even out then why aren't they required to put warning labels on these products that warn you of this. I had no idea that the system would be unable to handle basic upgrades due to lack of internal memory space or that I would be unable to add internal memory to resolve the issue.
i got this computer for a christmas gift (i had to buy it myself) and i wanted to use after effects on it. this piece of trash is a huge waste of money like when i opened the computer it said ‘free up storage’ like i got it like one minute ago omg 😣 smh
Thank you so much for making this video. I have had this hp for a few years now and I have stressed about the storage on here from the beginning but it didn’t really bother me until I tried to set up my printer . Well it kept saying not enough storage, did a little research and found a few things I could delete but that did nothing. But then I found this and it werked !! I’m so happy because I didn’t think it would . I love RU-vid ! Thanks again
The HP Stream is supposed to be designed for cloud computing but the lack of memory on there does not allow me to do anything in a reasonable time-frame or without interruption. Even editing simple text documents on Chrome with Google Docs or on Microsoft Teams crashes every 10-15 mins. I can’t have more than 2 tabs open in my browser at all and I definitely can’t run more than one app.
@@adriandavep.morales7808 Hi! Two part answer: Yes u can add add more external storage space with usb and sd cards but that's it and like Joey at Computroon may have indicated internally that's it, you're out of luck in trying to expand the internal storage.. PS Good 💪informative video, "Joey" @Computroon👍
e b o n y ! this happened to me too. i literally had to reset my computer just download the program and now i have it but like whenever i render something my computer just decides to glitch out on me 😔
@@oliviaa4451 if your program glitches out its because your laptop has low end specs, which means it does not have the basic requirements for your program. Always do your research before buying any computer. And also to get just a decent editing or productive laptop you need at least around 700$. And even with a 700$ laptop rendering will take HOURS.
ANYONE WITH THIS LAPTOP: 1. Disable 'reserved storage' (frees up ~7GB of space) -open elevated command prompt (administrator command/powershell) -type: DISM /Online /Get-ReservedStorageState to check state. -type: DISM /Online /Set-ReservedStorageState /State:Disabled to disable. (to re-anable, use this command with 'Enabled' at the end instead. 2. Use a MicroSD card as extended storage -winkey + x -Device Manager -Universal Serial Bus Controllers -Open 'Properties' of each device (varies) -Power Management tab -Disable 'Allow computer to turn off this device to save power' This means you can use the card as a semi-permanent secondary drive, but without periodic disconnects if you're downloading files to it.
I had to use a 32GB USB memory stick to update windows. The process was not easy to be honest. Better if you can borrow a computer to set up the USB stick but I managed it all on the HP Stream… took me a couple of days though!
Hey I have one of that HP stream its the memory problem I ran into ever so often when updates comes thanks for shedding some light on getting rid of these files not really needed 💯
I see there’s a check box on the C: drive dialogue box that says “compress this drive to save space”. Is it ok to check the box and compress the C: drive? Btw, after clicking the system cleanup button, I still only got 17 megabytes!
It’s pretty painfully slow standard. But if you disable a lot of win 10 crap, background running apps, stuff that hogs resources, and then set the performance to maximum battery settings, processor minimum and maximum to 100% etc, it’s pretty impressive/decent at 2.5Ghz constant. Worst part in the end is the 32GB memory.
Freaking hell these laptop do not have good storage thanks for the vid also it very slow to whelp I am watching this vid because I need to make at least 8 gb to get windows 10
There are people who do not know much about computers . I am one of them who was taken when I purchased this HP stream labtop. I also agree why would a computer company put out a computer where you can't get updates or download the latest version of chrome or any other latest version browser that is needed. At least I did learn not to buy another hp stream laptop with 32GB storage. HP got over on its customers with this particular labtop.
You're absolutely right Brenda, these computers with 32GB storage simply aren't fit-for-purpose. To be fair to HP, most of the mainstream manufacturers put systems out with similar storage. (There is a market for cheap). Even now we still see systems being released with 64GB storage which still isn't enough. Anyone reading this, if buying a new laptop - minimum 120GB SSD storage. Nothing less, otherwise you'll be chasing your tail freeing up space.
I am seriously considering getting one of these just to web browse only, absolutely nothing else. I won’t be storing anything on it at all. I just want to use it for RU-vid tools on a Chrome browser, something I can’t do on my iPad Pro 10.5. Do you think I should? Will this thing even take a Windows update?
In my opinion, computers with 32GB storage are not "fit for purpose". You will have a constant battle on your hands keeping enough space to install updates. Spend slightly more, minimum internal storage advised is 120GB. (in my opinion).
This is great information if I hadn't already known and don't this. I was hoping to find something that would help me free up some space now that I've got the system to it's bare bones system because I'm there and there's still not enough freed up space to download the Window's 10 upgrade on my HP Stream 14. I'm so pissed off right now. How can they get away with this? I haven't even had my laptop for a year and now it's going to be a piece of obsolete junk. If there was a warning label on the box, I would not have bought it. You know, "WARNING, IF YOU PURCHASE THIS LAPTOP WITH ONLY 32 GB OF INTERNAL MEMORY, IT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO UPGRADE IN THE NEAR FURTURE AND YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO UPGRADE THE INTERNAL MEMORY EITHER!!!!!" I've always trusted HP in the past and recommended them as a good product and company but not any more. And yes, I called their tech support and spoke with a bot and then three levels of tech support and the bottom line was, "We're sorry we can't help you. It's not our fault because we don't create the Microsoft products." Grrrr!!!!
Best thing to do with the Stream 14, is to install an 8gb ram module, and run a light, Linux distro on it. My Grand daughter has one I installed, Linux Mint MATE on, and there's enough space for O/S, her programs, data, and room to spare. They're REALLY CRAPPY Windows machines, but very compatible with Linux.
My windows 10 has 27.8 gb and its the max and I have to update it but I don’t have space I don’t have games videos or photo and still it hasn’t done anything can you help?
Here is a quick and easy solution. so my laptop has 32 GB of storage and luckily my laptop had a slot for a SSD. So I installed a SSD and copied my files from my c drive to a usb and installed windows to the SSD and it works perfectly fine. To do this you will have to chane the boot order in the bios.
Bought a 32GB 2 years ago mainly because budget reasons. I have 128GB storage on USB sticks so I had to install certain software such as art software for digital art. Had to keep the USB stick in the laptop all the time when I used the software. So I might get a new laptop this year but with good space and not expensive. Any suggestions?
i have this Lenova 32 Gb laptop and i cant even update. Is it possible to use an external hard drive and re install windows on that ? ive tried everything i dont get this to work....
You see on the 4:15 mark, where there is a box you can check that's labeled: WINDOWS UPDATE CLEANUP 5.39GB? Yeah. That option isn't actually there on mine. What it is, they want these inexpensive machines to crash so you will be forced to buy another. Period.
I have a windows 10...go to your windows icon in the bottom left corner...type in disk cleanup...hit that button at the top...check all files to delete...then hit ok...then go to clean up system files...click all those...hit ok to free up more space. He has a different one than mine but i found the cleanup app he was on by doing that. Hope it helps someone whos reading this
Hi Computroon, My wife has a HP tablet/laptop with only 2.11 GB free of 27.8 GB on the C: drive after running the "clean up system files" option in your above vid. Still unable to free up sufficient space to download the latest Windows 10 update. We have a Flash drive with 25.1 GB of free space, can you suggest anything that we can move to allow the update to complete or can we configure the update to download to the flash drive? Gavin from Ayr.
Hi Gavin. A clean install is the way forward. Download the media to a clean USB stick from www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 Switch on laptop tapping Esc and boot to USB.
Well, yet another RU-vid video watched and still no solution. I managed to clear just another 903Mb giving me 4.83GB free space on my C drive. Still not enough for Windows update.
!!Please help!!!!I tried this and it still hasn’t worked! I’m trying to get sims 4 on my computer and I’ve tried everything! Please help!! Is there any other ways? I’ve restarted, tried to wipe everything off but didn’t work
If you have a laptop with only 32GB storage, unfortunately it will struggle to run Sims 4. Run a search on Google with the name of the game followed by the phrase "minimum requirements"
Sims 4 wont run on it sadly. I bought the game and it only allows me to download origin and then youve got to download the sims from there. it will probbaly trll you to free mlre space.
My computer is a 32 GB storage Asus laptop and I only have been able to free up 2 gb space. I literally have nothing on my computer except a CCleaner and win 10 itself. Can somebody help please? I don't know what is eating up my space or how to free more space to update my windows 10. And everytime I try to install something on my computer, it asks to update my windows.
You can add more space the only downside you’ll have to take out the WiFi card inside the comp cause that’s the only slot available which stupid you should’ve been allowed to expand your memory at least. Anyways you’ll have to get a ssd stick and insert in there you’ll have to get WiFi USB adapter to able to get internet
A good point J. I have carried out this job for a customer a while back. (Although I tried to persuade them against spending any more money on this). Dreadful though that a manufacturer brings out a model that requires hardware upgrades simply to stay up to date with the OS that it comes with. On this thread we do give HP a bad time but tbh all manufacturers have low-end notebooks with similar storage spec.
