Looking online, it says Windows 10 only uses 11 GB. Why the fuck do I only have 4 free? (Installed like 2 programs that may take a 1 GB max). I'd like at least 10 free, how do I free up that much space?
Delete the old windows folder

This is a brand new laptop

Bloatware's probably the culprit. Also, who has only have 27.6 GB worth of storage space these days? It's not 2004 anymore, get yourself a 512 GB SSD at least
Disable hibernation. There will also be q backup partition.
settings -> system -> storage -> C drive
Does it say it's all being used by the System and reserved?
If it is then do a disk cleanup. It is caused by shadow copies and reserve files. You can delete them with a disk cleanup.
system32 is huge, go delete that, its just left over from windows 7
32gb poor fag laptop that's why. Buy an SD card.

This. Deleting system32 saved me 6gb of space and actually sped up my PC quite a bit

My W10 Enterprise VM only uses 10GB.
I don't remember what I've done to optimize it, but yeah.

IIRC you can shrink Win10 to 9GB but that needs more effort than it's usually worth, OP might want to do some googling
Also shrink page file to 512Mb Max.

this. just make sure that afterwards you download and install this great program called Gentoo.
What's the size of these two folders OP?
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution
and
C:\Windows\WinSxS
