I did that for about 6 months. BTW that is a perfectly apt typo, unless you meant it that way like I do. I got around the M$ bs by putting the boot loader for nix on its own drive and would physically choose boot device from the boot menu. Not ideal but it kept their grubby mitts off my boot loader while I used that pc
My laptop only has one slot plus the cost of a 2 tb storage is insane right now.
damn, maybe there is an ssd slot in there you are not aware of? I “found” a hard drive on a laptop I acquired (moms last hand-me-down), a 2tb ssd. Also had a similar laptop (dads) that only had an m.2 but there was a space for an ssd/hdd minus the ribbon cable. Yeah the cost of storage is idiotic now, hopefully something will come from the collusion/price fixing cases coming up against samsung/sk hynix/etc
I had bought a 2tb m.2 for my pc, then a month later purchased a 1tb m.2 (for a laptop I was giving to a friend) for about $30 more than I paid for the 2tb, a little over 2x the price for half the storage, YAY.
my laptop is a 2016 laptop and it’s literally falling apart. I know there’s just one. It’s held up with duct tape and hope. Literally. I duct tape it so pieces don’t fall out. I checked multiple times. I would use a external drive but only one USB is working and that’s for keyboard and mouse as the keyboard on it is broken. Also no battery because it was very fluffy. Why the case is duct tape. It kinda broke it. Lol.
FYI I am a American so I’m incredibly poor. I have other computers but there even older and worse then that one. Great for servers though
