1 Identify your hardware

The first step is to know what hardware you have in your computer and how it works together. You can use built-in tools like Device Manager or System Information in Windows, or System Profiler in Mac, to see the details of your processor, memory, storage, graphics, and other devices. You can also download third-party software like CPU-Z or Speccy to get more information. Knowing your hardware will help you compare it with the requirements of the software you want to run, or the components you want to replace.

SSDs come in 3 forms - normal 2.5 inch, m.2 and nvme - m.2 and nvme look similar except for the fins at the end. 5) PSU - [Power Supply Unit] 7) Casing. These are the basic hardware of a desktop computer. The other ones are the peripherals like keyboard, mouse, headphones, webcams etc. Monitors are also important. Understanding these will help improve confidence in knowing hardware of desktops.

2 Learn the compatibility and standards

The second step is to learn how to choose compatible hardware for your computer. You need to consider the physical dimensions, the power supply, the connectors, and the performance of the components. You also need to be aware of the standards that govern the communication and functionality of the hardware, such as SATA, PCIe, USB, HDMI, and so on. You can find these standards on the labels, manuals, or websites of the components, or on online databases like PCPartPicker or Crucial.

Ensure all parts especially that of the PC are compatible. Ensure the processor, motherboard, ram, GPU and storage drives are all compatible. Make sure the motherboard socket matches the CPU. See how much ram the motherboard can accommodate and which GPU supports the CPU and motherboard. Then be sure to connect all components properly and be careful in connecting power supply cables.

4 Practice with spare or old hardware

The fourth step is to practice with spare or old hardware that you don't mind breaking or damaging. You can use them to experiment with different configurations, settings, and benchmarks, or to learn how to disassemble and reassemble them. You can also recycle or repurpose them for other projects, such as making a media server, a retro gaming console, or a smart home device. Practicing with spare or old hardware will help you gain hands-on experience and confidence without risking your main computer.
