“Why do the system files take up almost 38Gb? I just purchased this computer and was amazed the system files take up some much space. almost 1/3rd of the HD is filled and I have only just turned it on. I thought a full install of Win 10 should only be 10-20Gb. Where is the extra 20 of space coming from? Does Lenovo just have a bunch of hidden bloatware? Or is Win 10 just that big?”

you might check a few of the following article which talks about reducing windows 10 footprint: http://www.windowscentral.com/how-reduce-windows-10-footprint Lenovo does have some of their own applications installed on the Yoga 700 11isk (11.6 inch Intel M3 processor)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have just bought this laptop too and from what can I see, aside from the fair amount of bloatware, Lenovo includes a folder with setup files for all the drivers, which takes up 2.1GB of space, as well as an 18.5GB recovery partition, there is also another 1GB recovery partition (from Windows IIRC) and a 1GB " OEM partition", those last 3 items are the reason the drive shows up as being only 98.5GB rather than 119GB* in the file explorer. *Storage makers use a different definition of "Gigabyte" than Windows.
