So I have an Inspiron 3847 and it has a 3.5’ 1TB hard drive. Sorry, I’m not at home right now and forget which brand.
I was hoping to upgrade to a SSD and therewithin lies the problem. I can’t find any 3.5 SSDs.
I’m very confused. But would it be possible to connect a 2.5’ SSD to the same Sata connectors my current (old) hard drive uses? I’m unsure which version of sata it is.
My PC was built in 2014 if that helps.
Well. I did it! I bought THIS ONE along with a 4TB WD Blue ssd hard drive.
Now I just have to decide if I’m going to reinstall Windows 7 from the backup I made. Install a whole new Windows 7 ISO from scratch, or try that Windows 10 version pirated without all the bloat.
Then in a few months I’ll buy a second 4TB and then the next time I see some big sales on 2.5" SSD’s for like $20 I’ll buy 10 of those. Even if it’s just 100GB.
I also have a couple of old laptops in storage people have given me, saying I could try fixing them if I wanted. Maybe one of those has a 2.5" hard drive. Even if it’s HDD. Just a little playground to test on.
You’ll find that Kingwin to be useful at multiple things, I promise.
I have something like 20,000 Windows 10 keys, send me a private message and I’ll set you up with a legit iso and key if needed. Otherwise, have fun nerding out with your new toys!
Are any of them for Windows 10 LTSC? I heard you can get rid of all the bloat.
Oh, also, I bought ram too. Gonna max out at 16GB now. Which doubles it from my current 8GB. I’m told 16GB is the most my motherboard can take.
Zero chance. ltsc is a per license subscription cost. no company or person would give those out to anyone for free no different than giving a stranger your Netflix account.
Windows 10 Enterprise is probably the least bloated version, it’s a company version after all and lacks a lot of the crap. Windows 10 debloater is a nice powershell app that does a good job too though.
16GB is easily comfortable and can even game on with zero issues.
Let me know how it goes.
