Hard drives are getting larger and larger, but somehow they always seem to fill up. This is even more true if you’re using a solid-state drive (SSD), which offers much less hard drive space than traditional mechanical hard drives.
If your hard drive is getting filled up and you want try to free up some space, these tricks should help you free up space for important files and programs by removing the unimportant junk cluttering up your hard disk.

Run Disk Cleanup

Windows includes a built-in tool that deletes temporary files and other unimportant data. To access it, right-click one of your hard drives in the Computer window and select Properties.
(Alternatively you can just search for Disk Cleanup in the Start Menu.)
Click the Disk Cleanup button in the disk properties window.
Select the types of files you want to delete and click OK. This includes temporary files, log files, files in your recycle bin, and other unimportant files.
You can also clean up system files, which don’t appear in the list here. Click the Clean up system files button if you also want to delete system files.

Windows 10 includes bunch of personalization settings that let you change your desktop background, windows colors, lock screen background, and more. Here is what you need to know to get your computer looking exactly how you want it.

 We’re going to be talking about the Personalization settings Windows makes available at Settings > Personalization, so you might as well go ahead and try your hand on the various options available . There are certainly other ways you can customize your computer’s look, though, such as configuring folder options to display files the way you want or setting up Action Center how it makes sense to you.

Change Your Windows Background

The first set of options you can change control your desktop background and they should look pretty familiar to you if you’ve been using Windows for a while.
To use a picture as your background, choose “Picture” from the “Background” drop-down menu. Just like in previous versions, Windows 10 comes with a few pictures to choose from or you can click “Browse” and locate your own picture.

Windows 10 is supposed to automatically update itself. But it might take weeks or longer for a big update like the Anniversary Update to reach your PC. Here’s why that happens–and how to skip the wait.



You Recently Upgraded to Windows 10 or the November Update


If you just recently upgraded your PC to Windows 10–or upgraded from the initial version of Windows 10 to the Windows 10 November Update–you won’t be able to upgrade to the Anniversary Update for 30 days.
That’s because you have 30 days to downgrade to your previous version of Windows. During this period, Windows won’t automatically download and install the Anniversary Update or any other major new builds.
To check if you’re within that 30 day period, head to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery. If you see a “Go back to Windows 7”, “Go back to Windows 8.1”, or “Go back to an earlier build” option here, you’re within that downgrade period. If you don’t see any option to roll back here, this isn’t your problem.
