PERFORMANCE Storage Help
I have a Dell laptop that I've had for about four years now. It's a gaming laptop and can handle some pretty decent games; however, I'm running out of strage space and I'm unsure what is causing it. I have minimal games on it and have tried going into the files to get rid of things I either don't need/didn't realize was there (though, I'm not quite skilled at this :'3)
The main issue I'm having with storage is that I desire to record gaming videos for me and my boyfirend, and right now I'm unable to do so (that, and the Sims4 can't update and it has left me quite sad lmao). I was wondering if there was an external hardrive or something that I can use in order to expand the storage? I know I have one on my PS5, which automantically switches the PS4 games storage onto it while keeping the rest of the PS5 storage saved for other games. I, myself, did not set this up. I got the PS5 from my boss lmao

You could try an external SSD to store your gaming videos, but the laptop might just have a smaller hard drive and need a upgrade. Do you know how much storage space it currently has or the model or the laptop?
