MSI Bravo 15 SSD and Ram upgrade / Inspection

[@MajorPain24]

Love doing computer upgrades. Wasn't particularly confident opening the Bravo 15 for a ram upgrade, this video helps me a lot. Thank you !

[@rickstechrepairs]

Glad it helped!

Mine came with a ax200 intel wifi card, also a tip for those want to improve performence, go into the bios, press right shift + right control + left alt + F2, go to advanced tabs, go to PCI E subsystem, enable 4G encoding (or 4G decoding I don't remember) and enable resizable bar. Then go to the amd software, and enable Smart access memory, got a solid 10~20 fps boost in some games.

[@rickstechrepairs]

Solid tips there for maximum performance

What would be the best possible SSD upgrade for this laptop? And does it have to be the same Kingston brand or can it be another one? Also how would you "Use the windows media creation tool to create a USB to reinstall the operation system." I have this laptop currently and was wondering what the best upgrade I could get.

Wanted to upgrade mine after seeing this video but after I contacted customer support, they said if you remove the factory seal the warranty will be void here in the Philippines. What a major letdown since most of the other countries allow opening MSI laptops for upgrades and still have their warranty. 😓

8+8gb

[@Tyget06]

So as far as I can see there's only one SSD slot which means we can't ugrade the memory right?

Only a single nvme slot Can be upgraded but will need to reinstall windows or clone the drive prior to swapping
