  1. What files can be safely moved from C: drive to an externel (network or USB) drive?


    I recently acquired a Windows 10 laptop with only 32G of SSD memory, so I am trying to free up as much space as possible. I can't get any definitive search results for what files I can safely move to an external drive. I have already gained 3G of space by various methods (disk cleanup, partioning, hibernation off, etc. I have a LAN with plenty of available storage. How can I exploit it, please?

    :)

    help. USB drive isn't assigned a drive letter.

    Any usb flash drive I plug into my computer isn't assigned a drive letter. The physical drive shows in the "safely remove hardware" but it doesnt show up in disk management. I have tried to populate the volume thru the safely remove hardware properties window and it does pop up in the list but it doesn't stay there. This isn't a format or assign a letter problem. It's more complicated then that. Maybe one of the services needed for usb drive management was disabled? Suggestions needed. btw external usb harddrives work fine.
