Product: Envy desktop te01-0077c
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

my new desktop came with a 1T hard disk but filling up quickly.  Need to install an additional 4T hard disk but do not see a disk tray to install into.  Where do I install the drive and which SATA port do I use?  I have an older SATA cable but is it still good for this newer PC technology?

Hello, unfortunately, I don't see any service manual for your PC, so I don't know if you have a place in your box for install it.. Can I have a photo from this?? 

 

For the connexion, you can use the SATA port you want on your motherboard, and on your power supply (you need to have a SATA port free on your power supply, or use an adapter). 

For the cable, how old are your old cable? Any information on it?? The best is have a SATA 3 6 Gbps cable, but the cable can have 5 years or more it is not a problem. 

If I have been answer to your question please accept it as a solution 🙂
