Update Flash Storage

Hi,

I bought this computer last year. I want to upgrade the flash storage but I have just discovered that this model doesn't allow for me to do this myself. I am constantly getting messages saying my disk is full and this is just not enough disk space for me. How can I upgrade the flash storage to something more like a 2tb SSD?

Thanks!

If you buy an external SSD you could store data such as documents, downloads and pictures on it.

It is good practice to uninstall apps which haven’t been used for sometime.

Avoid using third-party clean up apps as they can cause trouble.

If you haven’t already, set up a second external drive (a HDD is suitable) as a Time Machine backup.
