I noticed once my local disk was full I wasn't able to download anymore games. So I used an external storage device to put my games in. But coming to think of it my Lynx as a second storage spot of 2TB SEAGATE/TOSHIBA how do I have it show up in "THIS PC"

Right click This PC and choose manage. Go down to Disc Management and left click. If your HDD doesn't show up there, a cable is loose, probably from shipping. Turn off your rig, unplug it, and then press the "on" button for 5 seconds. This will discharge any capacitors holding a charge. Take off the backside panel where you can more easily reach the cabling. Be sure to touch metal on your case to be sure you are grounded, and gently wiggle the cables to your HDD and seat them properly. There are two, a power cable and a SATA cable. Follow the SATA cable to the motherboard, and make sure that end is seated also.

When you put everything back together and reboot, you should see your HDD in "This PC". If you use Steam or whatever, you can find directions to change the drive they download to.

If your HDD IS shown in "This PC", it may need to be initialized or formatted. Plenty of instructions for that on Google, or you can call in to DS.

Hope it helps.

There should be a notification at the bottom right that your HDD is connected. Or you could also search This PC right below C and D.
