Dell G7 15 - 7588

Hi guys! Sorry my bad english!

One week ago i buy Dell G7 15 - 7588, with i9 Processor, GTX 1060, 16GB RAM, and 128GB SSD + 1TB HDD.

128GB SSD have SATA AHCI interface, and for this interface 128GB it is maximum (this write in official manual), but it's to small for me.

In Dell manual (in the picture below) I see PCIe interface can Up to 1TB and my question: "If I buy Samsung 970 PRO 512GB - NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 SSD, Can I install it, will it work ?! Can SATA AHCI and NVMe be plugged to the same M.2 interface type ?!

Sorage Specifications

Thank you very much in advance!

Modern laptops often have the license tied into the hardware of the motherboard. Installing a new drive and using a Windows 10 installation USB (free to create through Microsoft's creation tool) will automatically load the Serial Number.

Will changing the screen panel void your warranty?

If service is required, and the repair depot sees that the screen isn't original - yes, they'll refuse warranty service.

That's exactly why you keep the original and swap it back before sending it in. Easy :p

Just purchased a Dell G7 15 (7588) 256GB 8GB memory model and upgraded memory to 16GB and installed additional 1TB SDD.  I had the same symptoms as others in the community where boot times went from instant to 3-4 minutes, but only from cold boot.  Reboots were instant.

I checked for BIOS updates and saw I was on version 1.3, version 1.8 was released Jan 22, 2019.  I updated BIOS and performed multiple cold boots and reboots, Instant boot times once again.

I'd say its fixed.
