I've been using Windows 8 on my computer for 3 months. After applying the system updates, the hard disk usage has gone from 15GB to 26GB. What happened to my laptop? Is there anything I can do to free space on my HD?

Windows will take up more space over time as it downloads additional updates. That said, you may have some temporary files you can clean up.
While there are many "disk cleaner" programs out there, only you know what you really want to keep, and what you can get rid of.
I rather like windirstat https://windirstat.info for a program which will show you graphically what is taking up your disk.
Start with that, and see if you have any files you've forgotten about taking up space.
