    Is it worth buying mor RAM & Storage? or am I better off purchasing a new device?


    My c drive has been consistently full, no matter how much I've deleted from my laptop, there has not been enough storage to update. I am using a portable hard drive which helps but not much. apps such as zoom which I use frequently that use a significant amount of memory, do not work well.

    Should I try to add RAM/Storage? is it possible/feasible or should I get another device?

    :)

    • Expand the Storage Controller.
    • Right-click on the Storage controller Driver
      and select Update Driver Software.
    • Wait for sometime and check if the issue persists.
    • Restart your system.
    Method 2: Uninstall and then reinstall Storage Controller driver from the Manufacturer's Website

    Follow the steps.

    • Press Windows key + X key and click Device Manager.
    • Expand the Storage Controller.
    • Right-click on the Storage controller Driver
      and select Uninstall.
