I ran out of HD space on my Toshiba laptop, bought a 1TB Seagate external drive (backup plus), what should I do, back up my data, mostly photos and then delete them on the internal HD to gain space.
Yes. That's about all that you can do without buying a larger internal hard drive for your laptop.
Have you tried running Disk Cleanup in Windows?
the computer is 5+ years old and I did not want to spend more money on it. Eventually I am planing to buy a new computer.
I am running disk defrag every day. Thanks
