Hey All,
I just bought a new computer for grad school that I needed projects for a class. Didn't want to spend a fortune so got a decent HP with a 128 M.2 SSD figuring I would store everything important on OneDrive or some other cloud file management system. My school is offering for free every Microsoft Office application out there. So I was able to get the standard Office programs. Word, Excel, more important Projects. However, I came across the ability for visual studio,etc. Problem is, the entire suite chews up about 50 gigs of storage. After that download, I would be at about 90% on that SSD. Does anyone have any options to make that work.
Options I came up with:
-Return the laptop, get one that's larger. Would have to wipe back to factory.
-Upgrade the M.2 SSD with a larger one. Not entirely sure I can do that without killing warranty.
-External SSD, but not sure Microsoft applications can run off a external.
-Store Microsoft apps in the cloud and utilize them from there. Not sure if I can do that either.
Any help would be great.
Thank you.
