Hi,
Bit of a newbie when it comes to tinkering with the inside of a PC.
I think I know what to do...but want to make sure this will work before I buy.
Looking at buying this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-SS...543472&s=computers&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&sr=1-4
My PC only has a HDD currently.
I've opened the case and can see additional SATA ports. I can also see 2 additional spare power cables for the SSD. However they are linked off the current HDD.
Question 1: Will that SSD work and not cause any issues with PSU etc.
2: Should I switch the power cables so that the SSD is first, or does that not matter?
3. Does it mater which spare SATA port I use?
PC Spec: https://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c03824427
Also, it has x4 4GB RAM cards. Would it be ok for me to upgrade x2 of them to 8GBs, providing i get the same spec?
Thanks
