[QUOTE="jetman, post: 892197, member: 63028"] [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]Thanks everyone for your answers so far. Very much appreciated- its a big help to me.[/COLOR] I have another question about this PC which I will post later under a different thread ! But in answer to the above query about the 256 SSD I am removing (its a Western Digital M.2 256GB PCIe NVMe 2230) I was going to sell it on ebay to help pay for the upgrade. However, is it possible to install it into an unused expansion slot to act as an extra hard drive ? According to the specifications of the PC I have the following... 1 Half Height PCIe x16 1 Half Height PCIe x1 1 M.2 For storage (22x80mm or 22x30mm) 1 M.2 for wireless (22x30mm) Below is an image of my motherboard with the DVD drive and SATA hard disk drive removed. In the top left corner the blue slot is where I have installed the WiFi Card (my PC originally came without one). For some reason the WiFi card doesn't work in the smaller black slot even though it fits in that perfectly. I assume the blue slot is really meant to hold a graphics card though. Would the spare 256GB SSD fit in that small black slot somehow ? I assume NOT as I know its a different sized connector. PS- I don't really know what I am doing and am not a very advanced IT user like some on this forum - so don't want to break anything !!!
