Hi All,

Your advice is appreciated. Just bought a 14" Lenovo with an AMD Ryzen 7. It has dual channel RAM, which I've already ordered 2x8GB to replace. It has a traditional 500GB Hard Drive and I ordered a 1GB NvMe SSD to replace that. There are two drive slots, though. Should I replace one with a smaller SSD for OS and some files nad one larger SSD or am I good running the OS and files on the 1TB NvMe I bought?

I haven't set up a new PC in a long time, so thanks for your help. I'm good with 1TB, I think, from a storage standpoint. My current laptop is pretty maxed out at 500GB.

Thank you - just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something or that having two drives wasn't preferred to one larger single. I do back everything up at regular intervals. I've always doubled what is traditionally the most commonly sold amount of RAM every time I get a new computer. My 2017 work laptop, a MacBook Pro, is a dog with 8GB of RAM and my 2009 MacBook (yes, really) with 16GB of RAM is so much better managing multiple programs, even with an old Core2Duo and slower DDR3 RAM, it's not even funny.
