Inspiron 3050 boot loop

Question

My Inspiron 3050 which I got a couple years ago as a present which had a float of about $400 at that time has had issues from the start, it literally can’t run web games like agar.io etc. but now I’ve wiped it once because I got locked out and also other issues and now I’m resetting it again because it is deleting things on its own, I put what I need on a usb, (since it only has 32 gb ssd and uses 20gb for system and 2gb for reserve? So I basically have no storage, other than that and the boot loop issue and also when I was resetting it, it got stuck on 81% twice, it said 'could not reset' or something along those lines. Right after that, it ended up in a boot loop after I restarted it since it wouldn’t reset.

can you tell us what is inside the 3050micro desktops can be a big pain.32GB SSD, is the whole game.what OS do you run,&#xa0; windows 10&#xa0; will not run in that space. (updates will fail)&#xa0; vast PC makers had to learn this after year 2015.can I guess it came with windows8 and was upgraded to 10 for free by MS?&#xa0;id upgrade the SSD first.&#xa0; no&#xa0; kidding.it has street value of $26 (last&#xa0; one sold)&#xa0;never let any SSD run full. ever.&#xa0; best is 50% max.and 32GB is NO GOOD, for modern W10.&#xa0; even MS has a long long form on this topic ... and why etc.Get a bigger SSD, If possible. solid-state drive slot (NGF_SSD)&#xa0; not easythe service manual shows a HDD port. and option new,&#xa0; I'd try to put a real SSD drive there.page 46 but will it boot? IDK.&#xa0; the NGF_SSD is seen below on the right corner PCB&#xa0; &#xa0;&#xa0;&#xa0;

It actually came pre installed with windows 10, it has 32gb ssd, intel celeron clocked at like 2.7ghz I believe, and I’m pretty sure we both know that there is no chance of getting a dedicated graphics card to work with this.. thing. Updates have failed. I know 32gb is no good, I have been researching a budget build like a said for 4 years, learning more about technology, and this pc was the start of my career I was hoping, my parents didn’t know much about computers so I don’t blame them, I blame dell. Parts didn’t even go for half the price when they bought it. It’s the only computer atm that works, there is an old gateway laptop that is a lot better (other than the cpu) it has photos on it so I can’t wipe it just yet. But that’s not the point.

This is a video of a what is happening, and yes I know I’m using a tv and it has a maximum resolution of 1280x720 and there is no reason to set it to 1080p because it won’t make any difference.
