Battery

Here, all in one handy dashboard, is everything you need to know about the
battery of your tablet or laptop. It’s all covered in Chapter 12.

Storage

This screen is all about storage—of your files and apps.

Storage Sense frees up space by deleting junk files automatically.

See “What’s Eating Up Your Disk” for details.

Local storage shows a graph of your main drive, showing how full

it is—and showing what is using up all your space, broken down
by System, Apps, Pictures, and so on. (Click “Show more
categories” for a bigger breakdown.)

View storage on other drives offers “what’s eating you?” graphs
for drives beyond your main one.

Change where new content is saved is designed for people who
have external drives connected to their PCs, so they can keep big
files like pictures, music, and videos in separate, roomier places.

In the resulting dialog box: pop-up menus for documents, music,
pictures, and videos. For each, you can choose your PC or an
external drive’s name and letter. From now on, whenever you

download or import files of those types, Windows stores them on
the specified drives, for your convenience.

(Of course, whatever change you make here doesn’t affect the

current locations of any files—only future ones.)

two drives simultaneously” safety feature, see the free “Storage
Spaces” PDF appendix on this book’s “Missing CD” page at
