My previous version of Microsoft Outlook was ancient at version 2003! So I'm glad to use an up-to-date version now, haha! (Granted though, I've always used a current version at work, just not on my own personal laptop computers). In the past, I only used Chrome/Gmail web login. Outlook on my laptop synched to my Gmail account. This solved the problem of downloading over 20,000 emails since 2005 which ate up a large chunk of storage space on my Surface Go laptop.duh!?!? LOL! My default setting (unknowingly) was to download all emails since I started using Gmail back around 2005, hence all the many emails taking up a large chunk of storage space on my Surface Go! So I changed the setting to only download up to 2,000 emails via the Gmail app setting. But this time I learned a lesson! I had to go into the Gmail settings and change the settings from downloading all emails to only a limited number (eg: 2,000 or 5,000, etc).
Yes, I (gulp) activated the Outlook feature of the Office 2019 bundle to my Surface Go. Installing the app went smoothly, did not have to un-install the built-in Office 365 app (maybe because I never activated it?). They priced matched Walmart's online price at $209 instead of paying the normal $250. Office 2019 Home & Business app through a local Microsoft store. After much contemplation, I ended up purchasing the M.S. Plus maybe the pre-installed email app that looks like an open envelope on the bottom of the taskbar screen. I got that micro-SD card on sale at Best Buy recently for a cheap $40 price, works well and fast too.Īs for Microsoft Outlook, I will not install/activate that app on my Surface Go after the reset, I'll just keep using the Gmail app via Google Chrome instead. I already have a rather large 256 GB Sandisk micro-SD card in the external storage slot for storing a bunch of stuff to keep my C drive light.

Now I will be a lot more selective about what apps I install and how much storage space is left.

I realize it was a bit extreme to do a full reset, but that's what I ended up doing. So now I know I have exactly 98.1 GB of free storage space after removing all files and doing a full Windows reset. First thing I noticed is that the Local Disk C drive space is now showing "98.1 GB free of 117GB". Totally wiped out everything on my Surface Go and started over again.
So what ended up happening is that I got a bit frustrated and did a full system factory reset.
I want to thank you all for your very insightful suggestions and technical know-how. I use Outlook at work all the time, so I thought it might be cool to use Outlook for my own personal computer, but now I'm having second thoughts. I normally only use Gmail via the Chrome browser anyway. But now that I've had a taste of using Outlook on my Surface Go, I'm thinking maybe I should forget about using Outlook and get the Home & Student version instead for $150 which doesn't include the Outlook app. At first I was set on getting the "Business" version for the higher price of $250 because it includes Outlook in the bundle. , thank you so much for the link! I may have to do this in the near future as I'm debating on buying the current M.S. Usually uninstalling from the control panel is enough but MS also has an uninstall tool if you want to nuke it.

I've seen situations where Windows gets confused between the two and thinks you're applying the activation key for 2019 to the 365 install. I recommend uninstalling Office 365 first.
