It has a 32 GB hard drive, which I knew going in was going to be small

I like the hardware, but the 32 GB is Not upgradeable

This version has 4 GB of RAM and was as inexpensive as the 2 GB version from Dell direct

We bought this for my son, turned it on and immediately wanted to update windows... and lo and behold, there isn't enough memory left to update windows... because windows takes up 28 GB of the 32 GB available and windows wants 8 GB available to update windows... why the heck does Dell even make this configuration when they should know that you shouldn't use that much of the hard drive space

Well, of course, it only has about 30 gb on the hard drive

32gb is insufficient unless all you do is use the laptop for net browsing, the pre installed apps and drives themselves take up 25gb of HD, Moreover the battery life lasts for only about 5hrs and that's when you use it under battery saver mode

I actually cleared all the garbage bloatware and unused things (like Xbox, a 2.5gb provisioning package, MSR files, hibernation, etc), shrunk temp RAM pagefile, compacted the Win 10 os and installed Office and use Firefox and still have 16gb free on my eMMC drive (see attached pic for proof as many have questioned me about this)

On top of that, 4GB of RAM isn't enough as this Dell is legit slower than my previous laptop I bought in 2007

After I setup my unit I had only 8GB of space available

This takes up a major portion of the available storage on the 32GB hard drive leaving very little or no space to save/store anything else on the system

I don't know how 4BG eventually equated to 10 GB during the deletion process, but I was quite thrilled to have 10GB free after reading some the horror stories on here about insufficient drive space

Miraculously, that was the problem that was freezing the Windows update!Have now installed Firefox and my email client, along with a dozen small utilities, and I still have 9GB free

The 32 GB hard drive is too small for windows 10 to update reliably, even with no additional files installed (e.g., right after purchase).

But it does not have enough space (6G) on the hard drive to do the upgrade, I did not have anything stored or installed on the PC

One year ago, I bought a Dell Inspiron with a 32g solid state drive that is not upgradable.
