I find myself these days having just one laptop which is the Lenovo Ideapad 120s with 30 gb storage of which from the day I bought it brand new it says 28 gb are already used .

I guess I cannot use this laptop with Adobe at least for photoshop or is there a way around this? I assume I cannot use the SD storage slot:/

Online I read that this version of lenovo doesnt upgrade to more HDD storage either:/

you might be able to install ps (but it would need to be installed on another hd).  but really, 2 gb?

that computer is just waiting to die.  i don't even know how you go your os onto that hd.

bottomline: you need a larger sd drive.  anything less than 100gb for a windows computer is unwise (imo) and 500gb is less than $150.

The minimum processor for Photoshop is a Pentium where apparently your Lenovo Ideapad 120S only has a Celeron processor.  The storage of 32 GB is not a Hard Disk Drive but instead is a eMMC solid state module which actually is a lot better (faster) than a HDD but it is soldered onto the motherboard.  You can overcome the storage shortage since this Ideapad has USB 3 ports.  If you go out and but and buy a good USB 3 portable SSD like the Samsung T series . They have now discontinued the T1 and T3 maybe you can find a bargain like this but the crrent smallest T5 SSD is 250 GB and runs $110 cost direct from Samsung.

I would suggest if you do try photo editing that you go with a simpler much less expensive program, maybe Photoshop Elements

I notice the currant 120S now has 64 GB on the eMMC so that you can load Windows 10

Thank you everyone.

I realized I have ''previous windows installation'' and when i deleted it now I have 20 gb free on the 30 gb. But still very economical situation that doesn't support adobe usage. For now though, I will have to live with this.

I installed photoshop and wont install anything else although I am subscribed for the full adobe apps.

I set my laptop to use the SD for everything as much as possible. I am using a 32gb sd card.

I will definitely look into a portable SSD if that can be accepted in place of internal hard drive (I assume it does since you mention it). I thought nothing would be accepted other than an internal hard drive.
