I have bought a very inexpensive new Lenovo PC laptop. It has 2GB Ram and 27.8GB of space. I wanted it to go on the Internet, seeing how I won't risk my iMac & Lightroom.
Just the way I would rather. Does anyone know if what I have been told is right? What is your opinion, because I have noticed a loss in overall space (much loss) after I go on the Internet with the Lenovo. It has just lost 3GB while I am still on the Internet! It keeps losing space when I go on the Internet! I have had it to the Company, asked Microsoft about Windows 10 and Microsoft Edge, and asked Geek Squad. Is this because of
Internet Updates? I have been told they will use space on your computer and you can not get it back. You will not know how much space these updates use up or how many will come every week.
As many as 12 at a time? You can't go in and fish them out of the computer. I can't add any space to this laptop. It seems like the computer itself is just doing this. I don't want to spend anymore money on a better laptop. A android device will act
the same way. Lose space to updates if it is a lower end product, I was told. How about trying to find a refurbished laptop that you could add more space to? It would probably be older and what would I face on the Internet with an older laptop? Does anyone know anything about any of these ideas? I downloaded two programs (I guess small) at first on the new laptop. One for my job and the other for Lenovo remote access. My job program installed but didn't work because it wanted Chrome or Foxfire. After Lenovo remote access (they could find nothing wrong with the hardware), I was told to call Microsoft. They advised me after much questioning that they could look into it for a further cost, but probably I should take back the laptop. Geek Squad said it might be updates etc... A further store went into more detail about Internet updates. I uninstalled the programs I put on it and deleted them. I have used Disk Cleanup many times and used it on the sys. files too. I am doing nothing else but going on the Internet. After I have turned it off and disconnected I get back some, but still have a hunk of lost space. The computer started with 27.8GB of space. I had 16.3GB free. After yesterday and calling the company it dropped to 15.3GB. Today after I went on the Internet (Yahoo, Blog, Lightroom, Notepad), after I did Disk Cleanup and had turned off and disconnected, when I turned back on without being connected to the Internet it said I had 13.9GB free space. You know at this pace it won't be long before I run out of space...13 more surfs! I don't know what is going on and at this point I don't want to keep the computer. Any thoughts?
Thank You for any help!!
