Windows 10: Inaccurate assesment of hard drive space.

I have been unable to reload Windows 10 because my memory, according to the message, indicates, I don't have enough storage. When I access storage it reveals my hard drive in nearly full. However, it shows approximately 79 gigs remaining out of 500 gigs. It has been stuck on this number even though I remove 300gigs of photos and files... I have deleted almost everything but it still shows I have the same amount data. I have done the you tube thing and the help guys are good...but when I try to follow their procedures to fix the problem....it stops and says...you don't have enough memory.I have deleted everything - files pictures - I don't have 400 gigs of anything....where is all this data....it doesn't add up when I break down the various programs....this was a Windows 8 Computer initially....change to windows 10..

Overclock your hard drive!!!

Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

REQUIREMENTS:

• Hard drive with molex power connection.
• PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
• Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.

STEPS:

• Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
• Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
• Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
• Plug in a drive and feel the speed!

Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
