Replacing the hard disk to SSD
I have a MINI TOWER OPTIPLEX 7050 computer and I want to replace the hard disk to an SSD fast disk. Can I replace the existing SATA SSD and how it works physically (the SSD is smaller than the existing disk).
Another question is whether there is a free slot for an M.2 SSD card and if so, did the computer know how to work with 2 disks.
Thank you

Only the drive you're loading to should be connected.

Passing along if this is your first time loading Win10.
You'll get a window similar to this:
Yours should be just one line showing one partition. Highlight it with just one click if I remember right. Then click on Next. Win10 then automatically makes its partitions. See Disk 1 in my screengrab below:
