Our two tech writers sit behind me. They use Adobe Illustrator, Acrobat, and Photoshop, as well as several large-ish art packages. They are constantly wrangling disk space, moving files around trying to free enough room to do their job. They have one 250GB drive apiece  .
I sit here with two 2TB SSD's and a 2TB hard drive (currently empty).
For the hour or so each and every day wasted on this activity, they could buy an SSD for each and they'd never have to do this again.

As for asking questions, the first thing is to pick the right forum. Have a look, see if your question "fits".
IF nowhere else seems to match, there's always Quick Answers[^].
Also, find any post by @Dave-Kreskowiak and follow the links in his sig.

So my wife is out looking for patterns - she's a crafter - and has managed to pick up a rather insidious ad dohicky that pops up, claims the end of the world, you need McAffeee (really?), etc. Call this number. In doing my research, I came across this gem on the Microsoft "community" forums:
"Edge can now run in the background due to a new feature, you may wish to turn this off."
Are you elephanting kidding me? Turning this off fixed the issue, but wow. Microsoft, take Edge and stick it where the sun don't shine.

wow, turns out those Microsoft peckerheads have embedded Edge as sort of a default user interface. I've come across postings on support where Edge runs in the background by default. I suspect it is how they push their ad bs to the desktop. So, if your desktop gets hijacked, and you are getting popups demanding you install mcafee, it's because Edge is running in the background. Another example of Microsoft nonsense about security and what not.
I run professional and I f'ing refuse to create a network account so that "all of my devices" are in sync. Hell no. Windows 11 Home makes it hard to do this, Pro is a little better. This weekend's task is to switch SWMBO back to a local account and replace office 365. Doing a quick google search for "how to switch a windows 11 home laptop back to local login" the second result is "Change from a local account to a Microsoft account" 
Consider this a PSA. By the end of the summer, I'll be all unix unless someone tosses me a basket full of cash.

Similar to what i mentioned a few days ago.
I get this message 'Edge is using your webcam', this is with Egde not even being opened.
Makes me feel whether Edge is sending these webcam images to some server, for further use as image dataset for AI.
