Trying again because I didnt upload thru imgur...

I have just started out in art uni and we have been provided with creative cloud (meaning photoshop, illustrator, the entire package).
However, my laptop is old and the storage is completely full which I believe is making photoshop lag to an unbearable degree.

Does anyone have any recommendationd on either a way of fixing this or any alternative (budget friendly) laptops that could run phoroshop more smoothly?

I’m really not good with laptops so I’m not sure if simply offloading the storage (I have been debating buying buying a physical hardrive for all my photos — which take up the majority of the storage) will fix my issue or if it’s simply the laptop itself.

For reference I have the HP 250 G9 notebook and I’m planning on using the huion kamvas 13.

Any recommendations?
