Imac 27" 2017 5K Retina - PCIe / HDD replacement... Need your advice

[Guest /u/LivinginDestin]

Recently I bought a 2017 Imac 27" 5K Retina from an auction. Because of being a computer that belonged to an institution they removed the PCIE SSD but the 1TB HDD is still inside. The Imac is OPEN and the screen is just taped.

 

That being said this is the question:

 

What should I do? - As it is already open should I get a new PCIE (Blade) SDD and install it internally? *and keep the 1TB HDD? - Just don't mess with anything inside, "glue" the imac again and just mount everything on an external drive using the Thunderbolt port? - Do anything else???...

 

Thanks for your input on this
