@photo2,

Btw, when you move your cursor to a picture in my post, you will see a tiny +-magnifying sign:

Left-click on it, and the picture will show much bigger.

Kind Regards,

I hope I did this right.

@photo2,

Yes, you did it just fine!

This was very helpful information indeed, because it shows that your primary (boot) drive -your only storage drive, is (already) an M.2 NVMe SSD:

That means that you want to go ahead and install a secondary SATA SSD, such as the Samsung 870 QVO you mentioned.

thank you so very much for all your help!!! now, I just need to find a computer repair place that will allow the customer to provide their own parts. I know Best Buy will not.

@photo2,

Unless you live in the woods, so to speak, there should be a local PC repair place near where you live.

Also, try out a search assist such as this one: Fast & Reliable Computer Repair Near Me: Local Technicians (thumbtack.com).
