When I first started it up it was 170gb is there anyway to get it to at least 200? And what can I get rid of on an HP laptop that won’t screw it up?

    Ram and (ssd) storage are two different things. Storage space is the one relevant to this question. Also, both of those numbers, 8 gb of ram and 256 gb of disk space, are very low these days.

    If you’re using the laptop with the software it came with, it might have a bunch of demo versions of useless apps as advertisements. HP is (or at least used to be) notorious for this crap. Somewhere in the settings should be an apps page that lists what’s installed, check there.

      Yeah that’s your best bet, remove all the bloatware and regain 20 GB+

      256 is absolutely fine unless you work with video editing or games. If you’re just growing the net it’ll last you forever.
