My new laptop in my low price class is great aside from having extremely small storage. At the moment I have less than 3gb free storage and I have no photos or documents saved I put those on google drive to clear as my storage as possible... :P
I know there are external storages like USB sticks and those memory cards you put in your phone but I dont understand? If I put for example a memory card in my laptop wont that just work as such that I can transfer files to it and same with a USB?... I am wondering if you can add actual storage to your laptop like to inside your laptop so you can download things on your laptop like games and programmes and run them in your laptop as usual except they go on the external memory instead of the one inside the laptop? Does that exist??? I saw that there are "portable external harddrives" for very expensive several hundred you know but I dont understand what they do? Is anyone tech savvy here??

    Like Donteat said, you can take the bottom of your laptop off & replace the storage with a larger one. I replaced my old 500 GB one with a 2 TB.

    if youre not afraid of takin shit apart its usually pretty easy to change a solid state drive to a bigger one

    but then youll need to install a new operatin system

        some laptops have an extra slot for a secondary hard drive or solid state drive

        it should say in the specs or you could google the model and see if theres youtube of such a thing
