SA OS Recovery, insufficcient space, Inspiron 3250

When starting SA OS Recovery (not SA), there always appears a black window saying "Paused capturing snapshots due to insufficient disc space.  We will automatically resume capturing snapshots once you free up enough disk space." (disc and disk are sic )

What should I do?

In the Windows Notification sidebar, SA constantly notifies that it created a Fast Backup. The PC has enough disk space and I assume there is no problem.

Inspiron 3250, Intel 6th generation Skylake

Windows 10 Home, 2004, 19041.575

DellSupportAssistControlPanel.exe, ver. 5.2.1.12926

(by the way, SupportAssist is 3.7.6.0)

I couldn't decipher this situation confidently, but it seems SA OS Recovery function does not support the replacement of the original HDD to the 3rd party SSD.

At first, SA OS Recovery notified it had created snap shots, but now, the BIOS setting is forcefully reset as disabled. When starting SA OS Recovery, it says the function is not available. I tried to use http method to restore the OEM partition of Dell, but couldn't.

My service tag is xxxxxxx.

I'm sorry for being late.

My service has expired 3 years ago, and I don't expect you to support me specifically. I'm not in urgent trouble. I hope my post to be a hint for someone who has the same question.

Resolved at least on my machine.
1) expanded ESP(EFI System Partition) from 500MB to 20GB.
2) once disabled System Repair, then enabled again.

My partitions are
#1 EFI System Partition (ESP), size 20GB
#2 Microsoft reserved, size 128MB
(Windows Disk Management does not show this #2)
#3 Recovery Partition, size 545MB
(#3 is not the OEM partition of Dell, which contains clean Windows and bundled software. #3 is created and used by Windows Update)
#4 C drive
#5 unallocated blank, for Over Provisioning of SSD
