Hello,

I am thinking of purchasing an Alienware 17 R4 (2016) laptop, and to cut down on the initial cost, I have been considering the possibility of getting the stock mechanical 1 TB 7200 RPM hard drive, and upgrade to an NVMe drive later.

There seems to be some confusion about the supported NVMe drives (see for instance this thread http://en.community.dell.com/owners-club/alienware/f/3746/t/19659289 

I would like to know which NVMe drives are supported by the 2016 Alienware 17 R4, and whether upgrading it myself a few months down the road would result in warranty violation (I'm guessing not), and most importantly, if this would create problems with the Windows 10 license.

I appreciate your comments!
