Still, there are several videos on YouTube explaining the hardware components related to your laptop or desktop Model.

When I was not aware of Hardware attachments at that time, I watch the video on YouTube to add SSD Storage drive to my PC to increase the speed of opening applications.

I hope you will find the video related to the same on YouTube.

Here are the important points you have to keep in mind.
