Hi, So just purchased this Labtop and will use it for gaming and general office work and personal work
It comes with 256 ssd..  Will adding a additional 1 tb Hdd help with storage or should I add another 256 SSD.. 
Now I heard with the SSD windows and programs work lightning fast.. Now having the additional HDD I can add pics files and movies ..
Now my question is if I add games to the HDD to save space will games run slow .. I know they will take longer to launch but how about in game performance will it suffer
Also is 8 gb Ram good enough for basic multi tasking and general play  .. 
If so what type of Ram can I get to add thats compatible and Hard drive ect.. Need to tell geek squad what to use for upgrading
..

    Hello, any chance to have an optane memory + HDD + SDD? (“design reserve for Intel Optane” means that I can have both, ssd and optane in that slot?

    Thank you
