So when it comes to storage the MSI features a M.2 NVMe drive that is pre-partitioned with MSI’s recovery tools and Windows installation. These might seem useless considering they take up about 15~20GB but this is basically a modified version of Windows that is used when you reset your laptop in Windows settings.

And a SATA port for a additional 2.5” drive (This should be self explanatory it’s just for more storage).

If you bought this laptop brand new you might have noticed that weird looking thingy with some screws alongside the user manual, well that ‘thingy’ is actually a mounting brackets for a 2.5” drive. This is what we will use to Install a additional drive and remember as long as nothing breaks your laptop should still be covered under warranty.
