Microsoft Windows 11

I own a Omen 25L GT12-1439. My question is:

It has about 500GB installed. I want to add another hard drive.

What is the best way to go about this and how big can I go?

@EdgarPoe , welcome to the Community.

 

Here are the "Product and Motherboard Specifications" for the computer.  If you look at the section in the motherboard specs titled "Expansion slots" you will see that there are Two M.2 socket 3, key M (for SSD card PCIe x4 Gen 3).  You can add a M.2, SSD, up to the maximum supported by Win 11.  Here is an example of what should work.

It's been awhile since I've been under the hood of a desktop since I have mostly laptops now and this is not used  by me personally bit by another family member. She has most of the original drive almost filled up. I just needed a little guidance. I also looked a few Youtube videos.

 

Thank you.

It is my pleasure, @EdgarPoe!  If she wants to use the new drive as the boot drive, she can use Samsung's Data Migration software to clone her current drive.
