Lenovo Legion T730 GPU Upgrade to RTX4060Ti 16GB

Hi, I was trying to Upgrade my GPU to test out a theory. Things seemed to install correctly, or so I thought. The new PSU uses a single 8-pin power connector. My 2080 had an 8-pin and a 6-pin (with a separate 2-pin not used off to the side) coming from the stock power supply. I plugged the single 8-pin connector into the new card. Interestingly the 4060Ti draws significantly less power that does the 2080 (165W vs 245W) so in theory, (in theory) I should not need a PSU upgrade?

In any case, when I went to turn on the PC - the front lights came on, but the GPU did not seem to have power. The computer simply did not start. What did I miss?

Answering my own question. It does indeed look like I will need to swap the PSU. Will do this tomorrow and report back if it works - and more importantly if FSX Play improves!

Actually, the correct answer was "seat the card correctly Dumba$$!" Rookie move I must say .......
