  1. Expanding Storage


    So I had just recently purchased an 'HP Stream Laptop 14"' and I was given about 50GB on the computer itself. I know that to a lot of people this may seem like more than enough, it however doesn't allow me to download even 1/3 of the stuff I need. I came across the option to purchase storage on OneDrive - however I do not know enough about this to pour my money into it. Will it give me space on the computer itself or will it be a cloud? Please and thank you for the help in advance.

    :)
