MSI GE65 Raider 9SE/ Please Help?

[nrocker158602dc]

Hi,
I have a GE65 Raider 9SE laptop with
RTX 2060 6GB and
RAM 2x8GB (16GB) DDR4 - 2667,
1TB M.2/PCIe SSD.
Intel Core i7 - 9750H

My Question is can I upgrade my RAM TO

Crucial 64GB Kit (2 x 32GB) DDR4-2666 SODIMM or
Can I Use
Crucial 64GB Kit (2 x 32GB) DDR4-3200 SODIMM?

and also Can I Upgrade my SSD to Crucial P3 Plus 4TB PCIe M.2 2280 SSD while still keeping my Stock 1TB M.2/PCIe SSD? (So overall 5TB hard disk space)?

Is it also possible to upgrade my VGA and processor?

Can I please get some help please?
Thank You

SSDs I never had any issues with 2TB or less, but I read in the forum about several that had issues with more than 2TB.
As others have stated, best to check with MSI service for confirmation.
Try not to buy RAM with very aggressive timings on them and keep them 2666 DDR4 2x16GB maximum.

First of all thank you for replying,
So having a 1TB SSD , you can also setup a 2TB SSD? (making it overall 3TB)?
Um regarding RAM are you advising me to go for 2666 DDR4 2x16GB (32GB overall) instead of 2666 DDR4 2x32 (64GB overall) GB? May I ask why?

Thank you for replying,
Are saying its ok to Have 2x32GB DDR4-2666 2 slots (making overall RAM 64GB)?
I am sorry I'm very behind when it comes to new SSD's, what would you recommend I get (already have 1TB)? Max I can go?

Well I never had any issues with my 1TB and 2TB SSDs (Kingston/WD/Samsung)
GP66 1TB Micron + 2TB Kingston ; GE66 1TB WD + 2TB Kingston ; GS65 512GB Samsung + 1TB WD ; P65 1TB WD + 1TB WD ; PS63 512GB Toshiba + 1TB WD ; GE72 256 GB Samsung + 2TB WD ; GL62M 512GB Samsung + 1TB Samsung
GE72 and GL62M 2nd drive is 2.5" SSDs all the others M.2.

Um regarding RAM are you advising me to go for 2666 DDR4 2x16GB (32GB overall) instead of 2666 DDR4 2x32 (64GB overall) GB? May I ask why?
Unless you do 3D rendering or CAD work, you would not require more than 32GB and going higher than this might decrease the speed of your RAM that is maximum 2666 Mhz.
Ex: if you put in 2x32GB might not work and if it does, it's a lot of stress for the system, so it might reduce the speed to 2400 Mhz to cope with it, thus reducing your performance.
