Question

installing a terabyte

Apr 4, 2016 8:41AM PDT

Hi,

I have a pc desktop and want to install a tb hard drive. Does anyone know how to do it, properly, or have a video they can guide me to?

Apparently, it's easy, but I haven't found any recent articles or videos.

Please help because I don't want to pay geek squad 100 bucks for something that can take 10 minutes.

Thanks.
