I understand, but it might be feasible to delay it for a year or more, depending on the resolution and the context of the game.

Thank you all for the feedback. It seems the system performs well when running her favorite games. We should wait until it can no longer handle something she likes. As for upgrading, there are a few options to consider.

I enjoy microcenter's Inland Performance drives. They include a 6-year warranty and feature a dramatic design with TLC.

Hold off on storage until you require it.
Performance and cost are continually enhancing.

It looks like the boot drive is a solid state drive, and there's a storage drive that's also SS. Like other's said, no need to swap one or add one unless you need it. You probably won't actually feel much of a difference if you do change the boot drive.
Leave the computer just the way it is - use it until she wants to play a game the GPU struggles with. Then sell it to a kid in grade school for $3-400 with the monitor. Then build a brand new SFF unit like I have that would be a great upgrade for years. (Had I waited a month or so I would've used a SFF case that the AIO actually fits inside of!)
