Hello Flubberz,

You will need to buy Windows 10 with the purchase of the Tier 3 Build Service but we will do the installation of it into the computer.

Haven't been inside a build in 8-years or so. Just bought a powerspec G164. I need to expand disk storage with at least a 2GD internal, and considering more memory. What are the specs for those and any recommendations would help.

Hello @quoinkey, the  PowerSpec G164 comes with 500GB of SSD storage, and 16GB of RAM.

If you're looking to upgrade the storage, I'd recommend another SSD. Typically 1TB is a great amount for most builds. Also, 16GB is more than enough RAM for most uses, however, if you're looking to upgrade the next capacity, it would 32GB.

Here are a couple of recommendations.
