You should be able to replace the HDD with one of the bigger SSD’s though? Isn’t the bracket for it built in?
But surely one for lower end/older machines will be as barebones as possible?
No gaming, hopefully. Perhaps hearthstone if I succumb to it.
Oh, true yeah. Oh well, too late now. I’ll keep it mind if I want to go back to windows.
Interesting. Going to mull over the options on my walk to the shops to get a USB. Thanks.
Perfect, I’ll take your word for it. Unless someone comes in here and convinces me otherwise.
Thanks!

Anyway, yeah, I changed the old one to a nifty NVME and now it runs like a dream.
Currently I’m using Zorin OS Alite - do you really think I should go to mint or Ubuntu before I start settling in? My initial reaction to Zorin is that I’m satisfied with it, but if it’s not as reliable as mint then maybe I should just start again?
