Aspire TC-875 NVME compatibility?
My old Gateway stopped working with the latest Windows update. I opened it up and found an Acer motherboard. So instead of buying a new mobo/processor/ram combo, I opted for a refurbished Acer Aspire TC-875 UR11, model D17E5 that I can't find ANY information for. Before I break the box open and void my warranty, I'd love to know a few things. I want to add an EVGA 600W power supply, but can't determine if there are any proprietary mobo connectors. From other posts here, it looks like there are, and I should buy the Acer 500W supply instead. It looks like I can probably install my GTX 1060 GPU, but it needs power, hence the new power supply (which may not be available in the Acer 500W). And I've tried to install an external SSD and run Windows from there - unsuccessful getting that to work so far, so was wondering if the mobo for this unit has a slot for an NVME drive. The BIOS lists one and says NOT INSTALLED or something, but I don't know if that means there's necessarily a physical connector. Other teardown videos show other motherboards in this series having a connector. And I figured by buying this refurb unit with the i3 10th generation chip, that I'd get a modern motherboard (I think it was built in 2020). Anyway, sorry for the long post, but I'd love some thoughts! Thank you.
