Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I would like to upgrade one or both of my internal hard drives to  Samsung EVO 860 units. I haven't been able to find out if this produpr is compatible with with my 7 year old machine.

 

Can anyone confirm the compatibility? 

Should I just replace the C: drive, or is it worthworth to replace the 😧 drive as well?

 

All help would be greatly appreciated.

2.5" Samsung EVO 860 SSD's should be fine for your machine.

Does your machine have TWO physical HDD's ? If yes, this is up to your budget.
