Awesome! Thank you so much! I'm a 2nd year IT undergrad student & need to upgrade my storage as I have less than 3GB left even after deleting EVERYTHING! Do I need to wear the static wrist strap or mat?? After 2 years of IT studies, we only work on desktops so far. So I am unsure about laptops & can't really find any helpful info on Google. Thanks!

@CrocFIX 4 месяца назад

Great decision for the IT study. Yes, if you wan't to be 100% sure, a static wrist strap is recommended and disconnect the battery and charger of course before working on the laptop. And you are welcome.
