I would add a 2Tb hard disk on the desktop Prodesk 400 G7. I know it is possible.
I am looking for an installation guide. Do you know if it is available

@Mario_R_58 -- watch this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/ThE4MWOjQz0?t=111
Turn your speakers down -- background music is not worth listening to.
In the video, it shows two M.2 sockets and a 1 TB disk-drive.
So, you could purchase one M.2 SSD, and install Windows onto it, or "clone" everything from your current HDD onto the new SSD, using free software such as MACRIUM REFLECT.
Then, remove the current HDD, and connect your 2 TB HDD.
I think that a 2 TB HDD will be much less expensive than a 2 TB M.2 stick.
If you use the 2 TB HDD to store your files, you don't really need the speed of the M.2 stick.

@Mario_R_58 -- Any intervention is required in the BIOS configuration?
Yes. The BIOS currently is configured to boot from the HDD.
After the "cloning", you must intervene to configure the BIOS to boot from the M.2 device.
