Upgrades & Expandability: Stretch Your Investment 

One of the biggest advantages of a Lenovo desktop is how easily you can extend its life without spending much. Start with RAM switching to dual channel (two sticks) gives a noticeable bump in responsiveness.  

For storage, keep Windows and apps on a fast NVMe SSD, then add a roomy 2.5" HDD for bulk files, or slot in a second NVMe if your motherboard supports it. If your system shipped Ethernet-only, it’s simple to add Wi-Fi/Bluetooth via a PCIe or M.2 card. Graphics upgrades are straightforward too: SFF models take low-profile GPUs, while Towers accept full-height cards just verify power supply wattage and physical clearance.  

Finally, protect your investment with basic care: a quick dust clean and airflow check every few months keeps thermals healthy and fans quiet, so performance stays consistent.
