Basically the title. I have a laptop with 200 and something GB of storage but a lot of high-storage games I want to play. With everything else on my laptop, I can only have one game installed at a time. Will getting an external hard drive help add storage space or do I need to buy a laptop with more GB? Thanks.

    You can get an external (known as a HDD), but it won’t run as quickly as an SSD, and you may consequently get performance issues. As one example, I have a modded Fallout 4 playthrough on my HDD, and every time I walk through a large space it stutters HARD. However, games that use less processing power may not be as bad.
