There have been quite a few posts on AB (as well as in other web forums and in the technical press) from people who've found that there's not enough space on the hard drives (or solid state drives) of their laptops to handle all of the updates that Windows 10 keeps throwing at them. That's because they've purchased some of the cheap models which have been sold during the past few years (and continue to be sold) with only 32GB storage available.
