    HPSteam 64g no more operating space but all thats on it is the operating system. everything else is on external hardrive. Ive tried to have it just update thru the external but that doesn't seem to be an option...I have freed up space over and over....suggestions? like just throw this laptop in the ocean??????????

  3. Storage Space

    Surface Pro 3 storage space is low. Storage settings say that Apps and Games is using 17.5 GB but when I add up the space from the list of apps it is only 5.7 GB. What is taking up up the other ~12 GB and how do I free up space?
