Hello folks!

Not long ago, not even two weaks ago I bought a laptop hp envy 360 2 in 1. Every thing is fine but when I first boot up the machine and do the initial setup I noticed that it only have like 50gb of free space on hdd of like 119gb.

Its not real that windows take like 60+gb?? AM I right?

What I need to do to free some space?

No that is way too much space. Look for preinstalled bloatware. Common occurrence.

I fix computers for a government that is garbage. I'm also a certified security professional according to Comptia

Using my paycheck on computer parts and alcohol and since this is a tech form I'll help with computer stuff I guess

Most manufacturers put a hidden "recovery" partition as well, these can range 10-20GB, or even more (just had the case at a friend's where it was 30GB, half of which was free space ?‍♂️)
