Hi all,

 

I'm wondering if I can add a M.2 PCI-e SSD or, at least, slot in an adittional mSSD?

 

If not, then I suppose I could always swap my current HD with a SSD and place the mechanical drive in a caddy in the CD drive.

 

Either case, how do I keep the warranty intact? E.G where do I take the laptop to so that it is serviced properly?  

 

I'm in the Orlando area.

 

Thanks!

OK, looks like it has a M.2 sata 3 slot, but I can only be  100% sure if I pop off the cover.

 

Would that (and if I eventually install a M.2 ssd) interfere with the warranty?  My laptop is brand new (2 days old).

 

Thanks
