I had practically NOTHING extra loaded on it but it kept saying there wasn't enough space to install the updates. I ended up dumping Norton and tried, again, but it was too late.

It is a Lenovo and was nothing but problems from the outset. I ended up buying a new HP Pavilion and it's actually the best laptop I've ever owned. If my nephew can fix the Lenovo, I'll keep it upstairs and use it to stream Xfinity.
