I was unable to install custom Win 10/11 due to touch screen not working at boot from USB.
Is there a way to free up some space, by removing not needed apps or smth inside Win 11?
Out of 64GB of storage, I have free only 37.5 GB, and I am sure it would work snappier with more free space.

You have over 20 GB free - I doubt that is your bottleneck.

Normally, with 64GB storage (emmc drive?), they only have 4 GB fixed RAM - that is what normally limits performance as pc needs to pagefile a lot. Unlikely you can increase performance much except minimising apps that run in background.

Re. Windows 10 installation, connect a usb keyboard during installation.

Battery is so depleted that probably it would not last W10 install.
I need to plug in USB type A to micro to it's power port, so I can not use charger while installing.
So I had tog skip W10 installation.
The laptop is very old Lenovo Yoga book.

Doesn't W11 use more resources on PC then W10 and requires more RAM, better CPU?
So I had to boot to W11 after setup.

11 requires a newer CPU, supposedly for some instructions involving security. I don't understand the details.

Windows 10 hardware requirements

Windows 11 hardware requirements

Short version: for Win10 X64, MS spec's 2GB of RAM, and 20GB of storage. For Win 11, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage. I don't know whether the fundamentals are different, or Microsoft is just being more realistic with 11.

I've run Win10 X64 on an old laptop with 4GB of RAM. (It has a 120GB SSD upgrade.) It didn't seem slower than Win7 X64 on the same machine. I didn't try to put 11 on it.

If the notebook has a single USB port, and a dud battery, that may be a challenge. External USB hubs are inexpensive (<$10 at Amazon), but I have no idea whether one would permit you to attach a charger and a USB thumb drive.

Pease fill out the My Computer link in your profile with your Make and Model# of all your computers. So we can help you in the future without having to ask.

Being that this Laptop has only an eMMC 64 GB drive, you can add a large SD card in the memory card slot on the side of the laptop. You can move the location of your User Files to this SD card, (ie) Downloads, Desktop, Documents etc) as long as you don't remove it; to free up space on the eMMC C:\ Drive.

Just Windows install took too much space on eMMC.
This is the model of laptop:

I gave up on installing custom W10/11 edition due to battery beeing damaged and needs a replacement.

The Lenovo YB1-X90F/L looks more like a tablet than a notebook, because of its single USB port.

It's interesting that its storage is a microSD card, which is upgradeable. Similar tablets use eMMC storage, which is soldered in place.

The hardware manual in your link makes it appear that the battery is replaceable.

If you don't have much invested in the notebook, neither may be of interest. On eBay, replacement batteries seem to start at about $35.
