- Uninstall unnecessary applications. Maybe you have installed too many applications on your computer. When you get it, you should uninstall some applications that you nearly do not use to free up space.
- Back up large files to the cloud or external hard drive. Don't need to save large files you don't use on your computer, and you can upload them to the cloud to free up space on a local drive.
