nonono, make sure the hdd is secured in the case so it doesnt wiggle, there should be a drive sled to hold it towards the case/motherboard.
Ok got it, I'll order the drive soon. I should go with the 1TB seagate one as it is only $4 more. But then I will have to re-install Windows 10. (I have a flashdrive with Win10 on it). Thanks for the help. Will update you if it goes well.

judging by your pictures, there are screws in the sides to hold it.

if you have another pc, there is no need to reinstall as you can clone the drive with any disk cloning tool.

Aren't there some problems when cloning a smaller drive to a larger sized one?

Soldered memory on a big boy laptop with full number pad? This is new to me, or at least something I had not seen in many many years.

I thought the soldered and removable memory was odd

No, problems are in opposite direction. Just cone and resize. Use Windows tools to resize the partition, not third-party tools.

With this computer I could expand the memory by 8gb. And it has 4gb soldered. This computer is 3 years old.

Anyways here are the actual dimentions of my hard drive size. This was the only ruler I had near me :P

    @Xdqwerty there is health behaviour you can add to your character, then to use a health bar is lil more complicated, google n watch a few tutorial video on it, be too hard to explain here.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the character has the health behavior
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I know you have to create a health and health max variable. Then there is a calculation you use in code to subtract width size of the health bar. Google few vids.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the "greenflatbar" is one of the preset health bars btw
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you can use any bar/sprite. It will just change the width. Ok good luck and have fun. I'm off to go shoot some pool at the bar. Talk to you later.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
