Hello,
I'm planning to buy a laptop, but I'm wondering if 128GB eMMC is enough for daily use (office work, internet, college courses...) since I don't download games or movies. In fact, I'm hesitating between a HP laptop with 128GB eMMC versus another HP with 1TB HDD storage and I'm not very knowledgeable about this...
On my current computer, I have: 128GB free out of 186 on OS (C:) and 257GB free out of 258 on Data (D:)
In summary: is 128GB enough for my usage? Will the Windows 10 updates not take up more space each time? And knowing that I probably won't use all 1000GB of the other computer...
There's a 160 euro difference between the two, so I prefer to make sure haha.
Thanks in advance to those who read me and for your responses!

On 128 GB, you can already expect that Windows will take up half of that. After that, if your only use is browsing the internet and working on Word, why not? You won’t need a lot of storage.
If in the future you encounter storage problems, the hard drive can be replaced without having to throw away the machine. However, the operation is complicated to set up if you need to remove the original one, so check if there is 1 or 2 hard drive slots in your PC to ensure you won’t have any issues.
Another solution if you want to store something in the future is to use external hard drives that you plug in via USB.

When it comes to a conventional mechanical hard drive or SSD flash type in the 2.5" format, yes.
But here, we are dealing with eMMC memory, meaning embedded and soldered memory... It cannot be replaced ;-)
In some cases, machines with eMMC have the option to accommodate a hard drive, but this is rare, especially in smaller models (in terms of size).
