It could be an idea. I will think abt this option. A bit of rant: I must admit I am a bit frustrated with the amount of data OS has nowadays for 5-7 basic programs, most pple usually need. If I show you, I have 3 built in apps and that is because I kept the Whatsapp (btw the one on browser works just as fine)! So yeah, 40GB for that is tremendous when they used to be 18. I've used computers since the OS was 3 floppy discs 🙄🙈🤣🤣🤣 I haven't even considered until now the posibility to adjust memory or space. Yet here I am (and for nothing). I found quite interesting offers on m2 SSDs. The compatibility will be a new thing to consider since here they just send the envelope with the ssd and "you handle it from there" ,🙄 A new thing to learn. I never opened my notebook before ....😂😂😂 Thanks for your advice. I'll sleep over it and decide what fits my needs the best. Also, it's about time to find a nice local technician. Getting old is no fun 🙈🤣 ... View more

In my case my 64GB sdd primary (the one by default) was split in 2 partitions: one for win of 40GB and the other partition for data. In my point of view downloads from the internet are better on a separate partition for security's sake. My notebook cares nothing for "don't upgrade unless I say so" and overwrites it, thus filling the C: where I had the win ,🙈🙄 My poor notebook entered BIOS and Efi shell. And went into a loop. I verified the efishell and I knew how to boot from there but I was honestly affraid. Never done it before. I realized that without enough space, not a chance to open the win. It was simply: full. So: common sense. Used my old notebook  reached through the official channel. But since it couldn't open the win, how could they help. So, the next common sense thing for someone who knows a bit: I took out my sd card, grabbed a stick and did a hard reset repartitioning. Now I have my entire 64GB for win (why does it need so much space when I use the same stuff I used since 2005 idk, it just grows and I uninstall functions 🤣🤣🤣). I consider a second m2ssd in the future just because it would be more convenient than keeping my memory card slot busy. But if I can't use smth beyond 512GB I can remain to my 512GB card and that is it... cheaper... So yeah. It doesn't work: restart. Nothing? Unplug all cards and restart. Nothing?! hard reset, just like with phones: wipe it clean once in a while. Healthy and it lasts longer. I have a Medion E3221 4GB RAM, 64-bit  Intel N5000CPU 1.10GHz purchased in 2019 (I literally had to ask a friend in Germany to buy it for me cause I saw it on the website and I wanted it from a medion store, no third party stores - I am that crazy- 🙈🙈🤣🤣🤣).  ...

I had the same issue. I solved with hard reset. Fortunately all my pictures were on an SD card. I would have lost all data. I reached to Microsoft and they said "Your SSD is defective". I said "No way, I treat my notebook very well!". So I tried hard reset and it is now OK.  Just make sure in BIOS you have enabled USB boot and make a bootable stick from Microsoft website with win 10. You will need another laptop or computer and a stick to do it. Than... 3 hours of updates and personalize.At the end: cleanup for space..  ... View more

 know it's a yr later, but it may come helpful for win 10 or 11 after installation. I had an error and had to reinstal win. Afterwards I put in an SD card I use to expand memory and it was not able to see it.  Updated win and it saw it. Turns out after I ran the troubleshoot, the medion softs were not perfectly installed but after update it went smoothly. It saw my card. I use a 512GB one now.... not a prob. ... View more
