👉SUBSCRIBE! In this video I’ll show you how to install a new hard drive in your computer and then format it. I’ll be using Windows 10, but this is the same for other versions of Windows.
The basics of adding another hard drive to your computer are: mount the drive in your case, plug in the SATA POWER and SATA cable, and then format the drive. It’s an easy process for anyone to do on their own. UNPLUG YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE STARTING!
A quick format will be fine for most users. If you are installing an SSD, use quick format, do not do a full format!

Is there a way to set up a hard drive through the boot menu? I'm receiving error codes when trying to run with another hard drive so it doesn't let me get all the way to the sign in.
Which sata port tho? For a hdd does it really matter?

Older video, but really helped me out. Never attempted this myself and you made it easy sir. Thank you!
This video still applies to today and is amazing, thank you. However, do you have a video that explains how to move the OS over? My brain is numbed out beyond belief as I attempt to do this.
