After a whole 10 years of service since the first construction of the PC I’ve retired my hard drive.
At first i lost my Linux install, then i was losing my windows install, so i took my chance to upgrade from an hard drive to an SSD.
From the WD Blue to the WD Green. It took me a long time because i didn’t know which connector i needed for an SSD when compared to a hard drive, turns out it’s all the same data cable SATA, specifically SATA 3gb. However i was gonna keep on using my hard drive but i only have 1 power cable for a SATA port which is a RIP.

I installed Linux Mint as the host OS on the SSD and i took the Windows 8.1 product key and upgraded it using a Windows 10 install ISO, so I’m now using Mint as the host OS and Windows in a VM. (Although i’m going through the process of making it into a gaming VM (similar to Muta’s gaming VM) to play Rust with my low end hardware lmao)

I also got a key keyboard i’ll make a post soon. And i found a bouncy ball on the ground as well i’ll make a post soon lmao.
