One more question..... As all i need my laptop, is gaming while im not at home...so prolly it would be better to keep that m.2 ssd 128gb just for OS and swap stock HDD for a 500gb ssd prolly better? If so, do i need some new connectors if i want to install SSD in to HDD spot or they share same connector type? Kinda not new with PCs, but laptops for the first time....


Thank you in advance again!

If it already got the 128GB for os.
Sure, get a 2.5" form ssd to replace the 2.5" hdd. they will use the same sata connection
