    Loosing most of my hard drive space


    I have a HP Stream converted laptop. I'm currently a member of the insider program. I'm having a problem with most of my hard drive space. Between my regular Edge and the Insider Edge they take up almost all of my free space. Can I remove the Edge operating system that is standard issue now and just use the Insider new Edge build? If not how can I recover the 3 GB space on my hard drive?

    :)

    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!
