Product: Envy TE01-1134
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Just bought an ENVY TE01-1134 desktop. It comes with a 512gb SSD (only) so have added a 2TB hard drive to extend storage. However, I would also like to add my MSI 610GT (N610GT-MD2GD3/LP) video card.  This unit only has a 180W power supply.  Can this be done without detriment to the system?

@GT2k20 , welcome to the forum.

 

You can add the video card, but you will have to upgrade the power supply unit (PSU).  The motherboard is HP proprietary.  It has a 4-pin power connector instead of the standard 24-pin ATX power connector.  This means that you will have to buy the PSU upgrade from HP.  They have a 400W (L69242-800) PSU that should power the card.
