Hi, folks. Need help here.

I bought a brand new laptop Lenovo Ideapad 120s-14IAP and after just 2 days after an automatic win10 upgrade it runs very slow and laggy. When I look at my hard drive space almost 85% is used...can we fix that...I just cannot return it to Best Buy because I'm out of the country now.

Storage
29GB Hitachi Hynix HBG4a2 (SD (SSD))

 

 
The specs of the present storage device mean that you will not be able to download and install the cumulative update 1803 due to the lack of free storage space, not being able to update Windows puts you at risk of malware attack so this needs to be rectified asap.
 
NB: I really cannot understand why they sell this sort of spec computer with Windows as the OS, the consumer is inevitably being sold something not fit for purpose.

Good points. The only option to upgrade is to use a usb drive to provide the extra storage needed during the update. Enclosed is the systemdiag file.
