Comment on "You should probably just throw it away"

I’m getting annoyed with windows… I have a small laptop I like to use for streaming, and the stupid updates keep on maxing out the drive space… It is 32gb, and i can’t get it to download the updates on an external drive. I wish they’d have an option to turn off automatic updates, and just let me do a single click and download the updates manually to an external drive so i can have a usable goddamn computer.
I have the exact same problem. I’ve maxed out my hardrive and every week or so it complains that there’s no storage space and I’m like, I HAVEN’T DOWNLOADED OR INSTALLED ANYTHING I MONTHS, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS YOU SHITTY OS! So I delete some stuff so it will continue to operate, maybe free up 1 or 2gb, and then a few weeks later it’s full again.
There also isn’t space to install Windows 11 😑 I only use it for DJing and I’m not sure you can run Rekordbox on Linux but I need to find out.

Microsoft claimed that Windows is compatible with 32gb drives but that’s not actually true. Those will get automatically filled by winsxs updates within a few hours. It’s impossibile to use one of those windows mini PC with a 32gb emmc unless you exclusively use it offline for typing with a word processor.
All those $100 32gb emmc “computers” available on Amazon are just “direct to landfill” ewaste
