I have a 2 year old MSI GF63 Thin 11UC that I use literally daily and want to beef up to continue using. It came with 8 GB of RAM which my dad and I instantly upgraded to 24 GB before even booting up the laptop. My SSD is at 99% capacity and I can't figure out what to remove to allow more space, so I'm looking to upgrade but I have no idea where to even begin. Any help would be appreciated, I'll put my specs below. Thanks.
MSI GF63 Thin 11UC, 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1140H @ 2.70GHz.
Well first off 24GB RAM, mean you added 16GB of RAM, so you are running in single channel mode.
If you want to run in Dual Channel Mode (5-8% increase in performance) you need to purchase a Dual Channel RAM kit,
2x 8GB or 2x 16GB CL22 DDR4 3200Mhz, Samsung, SK Hynix, G.Skill or Crucial (Micron).
It seems your laptop has a Gen3 SSD NVMe M.2 slot, it's best to add a DRAM Gen4 SSD, it will run at Gen3 speeds thought,
TLC Nand and a Phison Controller would be the best specs to choose.
(Samsung and WD use their own Controller that has been tested with their SSDs for optimal performance)
I would suggest a Samsung 990 Pro, WD SN850X, Kingston KC3000 or MSI M480 Pro, in 2TB.
You can also add a 2.5'' SATA SSD, so I would go with a Samsung 870 EVO or WD 3D Blue, in 2TB.
The MSI GF63 brings thin and light gaming to the mainstream, featuring thin bezel display with up to 11th gen Intel Core i7 processor and GeForce RTX 3050 Ti graphics. The GF63 provides gamers a new choice of portable gaming firepower!
