[SOLVED] Could i potentially upgrade this lenovo pc?

[man guy]

The computer i bought from best buy was https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo...-1tb-hard-drive-black/6325578.p?skuId=6325578, and the case i got was https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N99WHP1/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 . Is this possible or would i need to change something in the pc? I have another psu that works with the case as well as a graphics card.

No, the motherboard layout is similar to a m-atx with a bit of a modified pcb, but that's not the problem. The problem lies in the power supply connection, it is a non-standard layout in the form of a 10 pin connection rather then the standard 24 pin connection.

In order for it to work with a standard psu, you would have to find either a custom cable adapter, or make one yourself by identifying the values on each pin and then soldering to the correct pin on the atx psu. Overall not a goof method as this may increase load on the connections to above spec values and may be a fire hazard.

The system comes with a 180w psu, I think, so no gpu upgrades either unless its the gt1030 and you leave the side panel open.

So, no.

Welcome to the forums

that motherboard is non-standard

those ports in the front are the issue. if they fit in the case at all, they will be unusable in the future.
you will need a PSU adapter as that is a non-standard power connector.

What is the wattage, of the PSU, that you have now? You could upgrade ram, and do an SSD upgrade, at the very least. That board and case will not work. I did find this.
