Really appreciate the tips, I'll first run the external HD at minimal install then take it from there.


Personally, I would buy one of these:

A 2TB drive, and install it as your SECOND drive in the system. Unless you're running a laptop. But, if you're running a desktop, you should be able to add this to the system, and it saves you the hassle of having to copy everything over to a new drive. If you're not computer savvy, there are tons of video on YouTube on how to add a new drive. Your computer should already have the power connection off the power supply to run the drive. It should also come with the SATA drive connection you'll need to connect it to your computer.

The price is good for the amount of data storage you're getting.

After installation, you can uninstall the MegaPak and install the new UltraPak. You might want to consider copying over the old MegaPak to the new drive, and then installing over top of that. That way, if you have any additional files, they'll be saved and the install will come with a new licensing key, so you should be good to go.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
