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.


 
Don't you have your SATA slot filled? You could use a SATA SSD there, an easy solution for more space. Not as fast but tolerable.
