There might be another drive that is much bigger and is for file and program storage. Right click on the Start button, open Disk Management to check for another drive. You have to change where files are stored and downloaded to utilize the bigger drive. The C drive should be used mainly for system files and everything else stored on the big drive. If you bought the model and only have that small ssd, see if it you can add another drive. Manual and specs--
