IIRC I proceeded as follows:
- Replace hard drive with a larger SSD (which was cheaper than buying the laptop with a larger SSD from the beginning) - Install Windows, manually partition HDD - Install Tumbleweed, the installer managed dual-booting for me.
I have also been wondering about a bigger hard disk. I always run out of space. Our development setup (Linux and MinGW Windows) and all tools can become rather large. And I like to have test data.
Did you need to buy a Windows license or could you install the one that should have come with the laptop?
I read that with Windows 10 the license is tied to the machine and that you can replace the hard disk with no issues, automatically (and that disk would not work on a different machine). However, I do not know how they identify the machine. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.0 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))
