There's an empty M.2 slot, which can accept a 2280 form factor "gumstick" NVME SSD (but not a SATA M.2). Spend $40 more to get one & make it as the system drive. It will greatly improve the performance of this laptop.
The 1TB "old" HDD could be kept and used as media storage…

AND: This is a 11th Gen Intel Tiger Lake processor, so you will probably need this also.
No drives were found during Windows Installation during Setup

Also, the end user experience difference between an i7-8650u and an i3-1125 is shockingly better. Same core count, no HT, waaaay faster. Energy efficiency on the 11th gen is remarkably better, too. If you get a Precision 5530 with an 8th gen H proc, it will be slightly better performance but at the expense of bulk, wear, and nominal benefit.
I used to run exclusively off-lease gear. The "lul" in 9th/10th gen equipment changed me, the demand for Windows 11 changed me, and the benefit of 11th/12th gen did, too. There are plenty of GREAT value units in the consumer space right now that completely eliminate value for those corp devices.
I'm running an Acer Spin 3 that was $700 with i7-1165, 16gb LPDDR4, (upgraded) 2TB NVMe and (upgraded) 1TB NVMe, and a 13" Wacom Touch/Pen 2560 panel. Also has dual TB4 and a dedicated charging port. It's a better laptop that a NEW Dell Lat 5320, nevertheless an older, used one. Built better, too.

After you get everything working, you could put the 1tb drive back in and format it for a storage drive. 🤷 ♂️
Or leave it out to keep your battery life the best it can be. Spinning drives eat batteries like a Game Gear.

The mech drive and OS has to go. Beyond slow. With a decent ssd performance is quite good for productivity tasks. Don't try to overload it. It will play 4K @ 60 fps via hdmi but no hdr. With hdr on there's a ton of dropped frames in youtube.
The fan will spin under higher loads. Spinning fan makes noise...

I see it has 512gb less but has 4gb more of ram.
Plus i wouldn't have to replace the Hard Drive
What do you think, cons and pros?
