My HP Elitebook 840 G2 is constantly using all its hard drive space even though it's not supposed to be full.

It looks like my computer can handle up to 1TB of storage but doesn't work well with Kingston RAM upgrades because the specific device I'm using has system problems or lacks necessary data. If you try again later at www.crucial.com, what should I read about M2, PCIe, NVMe, and mSATA?
My stuff from all the computers in the house goes to one place called a volume and folder tree on my Network Attached Storage (NAS). I check for backups every single day or sometimes just once a week depending on what needs backup right now, or whenever someone asks me to do it.
Besides having an online backup drive built into the system, I also keep a physical offline copy of my data and systems. When both computers originally ran Windows 7 but now run Windows 10, I bought two Samsung 870 Evo 1TB external hard drives. I made copies (clones) of both operating systems onto these drives so they work just like the PCs do. Now that is done, I put those physical drives into a safe place to keep them away from computers. If one of our computer drives fails or gets corrupted, I can plug in the offline drive and it will start up with no problems. Or I can copy the OS from the backup drive onto a new drive and let it run like normal. My data drives also have their own online backups on internal SSDs, but my old hard drives (WD Blue 1TB) are now used to hold all my data safely offline. Of course, I don't have a NAS or automatic cloud storage system like USAFRet has. But honestly, it's more than enough for me. No, really, there is no cap on how much space these drives can hold. It says they work with 2.5" SATA SSDs. If you look at the "Compatible Storage Upgrades" section, you'll see that Kingston KC600 handles up to 2048 GB (2 TB). Just because Kingston hasn't sold a bigger version of their KC600 series doesn't mean I can't put a larger drive in. Heck, if you have enough money for it, you could buy an 8TB Samsung 870 QVO and find this on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-870-QVO-S...089C3TZL9/. There are even drives with 16TB capacity in the market. But those huge ones cost a few thousand dollars...
