Of course you can. (Keep in mind the i7 is not the normal desktop SKU, but rather a bit a lower powered one which makes somewhat of a difference in performance tests.)

As a secondary drive?
Seems like the motherboard can handle a second one, however there are no extra bays (slots) in the computer case to secure it, so it would just be hanging in the air.

Is there a place that i could put it-add a extra drive bay?
Thanks for the heads up, though it should still be faster then a i5 right?

So if i wanted to add a ssd it would have to be instead of the regular Hard drive?

Anyone an expert in Outlook (2016) using GSuite Sync? Can't get it to sync, what can I be doing wrong? Searched everywhere online/YouTube.... nothing helping.

I'm not an expert, but I've done it. What happens when you try to sync? Did it used to work and suddenly stop, or did it never work?

i do the sync but nothing shows up in outlook. the sync progress shows "0/0 items synced"

Did it work in the past? Or are you first setting it up now?

I was set up the manual way (IMAP) but had too many issues....

IMO GSSync is much better than IMAP.

Can you try uninstalling and reinstalling GSuite Sync and see if that helps? Or even try setting up a new profile with it. The computer I'm on now doesn't have 2016 but I can probably give more details tomorrow.

You can find another way to secure it, either screw it in somewhere or even double sided tape

If I want to add a few monitors to my pc what kind of graphics card do I need to buy?   there are so many out there.

[Alexsei]

How much is a few and what is the intended use?

4-5, basic stuff.

Yes there is, but it is not that easy to use it. See Mark Rossinovitch's latest Case of the Unexplained (2017) where he touch on it.

I'm looking at the CPU usage history in Process Explorer, and it looks like WmiPrvSE.exe is a/the culprit in hogging CPU usage. Any idea how to figure out if this is legit / how to fix it?

TIA

This is the Windows services host, not an easy task to know exactly who's the cause in it.

You can start by following the steps in the "Locate the Process Using Event Viewer and Uninstall It" section here https://appuals.com/wmi-provider-host-wmiprvse-exe-high-cpu-usage-on-windows-10/

Thanks! It looks like Crashplan has been hogging CPU usage, I went into its settings and lowered the amount of CUP it is allowed to use. Will see if performance improves.

Thank you!
