I was told that the drives in my existing computer would most-likely not be compatible with Windows 10 (this by a knowledgeable friend). What is your experience with this?

No need for multiple hard drives. Had one crash a computer before last, an HP. But, have never run out of HD space since my first computer back in 1982.

My game is intraday trading--no other games so no need for space.

My decision comes down to performance, money, and convenience. Do I want to spend more now to guarantee more years with the same computer. Or, spend less, and have the inconvenience of buying and setting up sooner.

Play around with this build. PSU is decent, 16GB 3600 is pretty cheap. Couldn't pick an optical disc though for some reason. 2600x comes with a cooler and motherboard does support 3rd gen Ryzen out of the box if want to upgrade in future or if decide to widen budget.

I reformat my drives before any OS is installed. If you are trying to pull data off old hard drives, utilize a hard drive reader. Some of the toaster looking ones are decent and cheap.

No need for multiple hard drives. Had one crash a computer before last, an HP. But, have never run out of HD space since my first computer back in 1982.

I run multiple hard drives in all of my builds for personal use and for friends. SSD for primary drive for OS and games and programs that need to be speedy. Hard disks for storage and various other programs that don't need SSD speeds.

My game is intraday trading--no other games so no need for space.

My decision comes down to performance, money, and convenience. Do I want to spend more now to guarantee more years with the same computer. Or, spend less, and have the inconvenience of buying and setting up sooner.

At that point, run a raspberry Pi.
