Can someone point me to directions with pictures or a video that shows how to install a 3.5 inch hard drive in my Acer Aspire TC-885-UA91?  I've searched all over for something that applies to my computer, and I'm coming up blank!  Thanks!!

    Dear Vinniel, 

    It's me again. Installing a SSD and a HDD to TC-885-UA91 is basically the same, but there is only one place on the HDD tray (the big piece on metal plate when you open up the PC) for 3.5" HDD.

    For planning, you can read the post " SSD Installation" on this page. 
    For detailed instruction (text) you can read my detailed 4-star review of this PC on Amazon, dated May 10, 2020 , so I am not going to repeat
    For the basic of taking down the PC ,read the post 

    "TC-885-UA92 Compatible Graphics Cards", there is a video, but you don't need that much, as you only need to mount the 3.5" drive to the four orange color screw holes on the HDD tray. This is on page 5 here.

    The most challenge is to pull out the power connector wires from the PC.

    Dear Vinniel,

    Another post here on page 7, Aspire TC 885 UA92 additional SSD drive installation instruction?


    that will help you a lot. Don't repeat now. People just cannot take video when freeing the power wires without special optical equipments.
