Swap out to a bigger SSD 2TB or 4TB. They say the Optiplex 7050 Micro is limited to 1TB but I think that’s not true. I’m considering buying the same machine (although i5) for £60 ($80). My current node is a Lenovo T480 but it feels too good not to be used as a Linux laptop in its own right. Just want something capable to sit on the shelf now. Keep us updated with the install 🙂

WiFi probably won’t work btw, but it’s always better to network it physically. Always worth updating the BIOS too before anything if it needs it and you also might need to disable the secure boot stuff in the BIOS. I’ve noticed that this seems to interfere with restarts.
