Windows is taking up too much hard drive space.

Hi! I have two computers with the same issue. My main computer is an Asus laptop, and Windows 10 is taking up 66.7 GB of 300 GB. My Asus transformer is an SSD, and Windows 10 is taking up 39.4 GB of 60 GB hard drive space. Windows 10 is only taking up 21 GB on my boyfriend's computer (he built his own, so no brand). So why are my computers taking up so much space? With the programs I need for school, I am unable to update Windows due to space issues on the Asus Transformer.
