    Running low on space on a modern computer


    I have a two fold question regarding lack of space on a modern computer. It has a solid state 106GB and at 1 TB conventional hard drive.The solid state C: Drive has filled up to the extent that system files can no longer be backed up, and I am doubtful that Windows 11 will fit.Moving apps to the alternate drive is presenting it's own set of issues.1: Can I reconfigure to have system files back up to the D: Drive?2: Any clues on how to really make space on C: Drive?Most of the large apps are 1GB in size, but an update for the video driver today was 1GB as well! Can I junk old updates?

    :)

    Updating windows/low disk space/Modern setup host

    I have an ASUS notebook. It has 28GB only. I had trouble previously updating Windows 10 because there wasn't enough disk space. I contacted Microsoft who cleared space, but not enough for the update. They suggested downloading the ISO file to my sd card
    and installing and running from there. Howevever, I can't complete the steps as during installation the Modern setup host crashes every time. I have tried every fix I could find on the web, clean boots, disk clean up, using the DISM tool, deleting stuff etc.
    I have ended up completely resetting the notebook, but the modern set up host still crashes. How can I get this to work so I can install and run Windows 10 from my sd card (which has more space)? I'm not hugely tech savvy. Help me please - I've spent about
    7 hours today on this.
