I "bricked" my 32GB laptop a few years ago by allowing Windows 10 to use an SD card as extra space for an upgrade. Then I read that that iteration of Windows Update had a bug when there was something in the SD card slot during an upgrade. So now it is running Debian. But in theory that bug might be fixed and you could put an arbitrary auxiliary SD card in and upgrade successfully. I distinguish by the way between an update that could happen with little fanfare vs the upgrade that would be named after a year, season and user role (e.g. 2017 Fall Creators update). The latter take more resources.

  2015 HP Stream 11. I would steer people away from it generally but if you have more time than money it could work out. HP has this on its website but notably Best Buy, where I originally got mine as an open-box deal, no longer seems to have anything at the price or equal specs. My current laptop is an HP 15-ish with a core i7 and a real SSD. Not sure how I got in an HP rut.
