Someone suggested there may be old system restore files that need to be deleted?

One or two people online seem to have had the same issue.

Checked Task Manager and doesn't seem to be anything massive taking up space.

Any advice for a laptop amateur greatly appeciated!

Thank you!

- Create another partition from the unallocated space. For example, you can create partition D:.

It would be really useful if you can provide a screenshot of your Disk Management.

Apart from that, if we assume that all the space is already allocated, you can do several things in order to free up some HDD space:

- Adjust your system restore options. Delete previous restore points and reduce the space allocated for system restore.
- Run disk cleanup.
- Delete temp files.
