Upgrading the SSD and HDD in the MSI GF63 Gaming Laptop

A Customer sent in their Brand New MSI GF63 8RC Laptop to my office for me to upgrade the SSD and add in a HDD. I made this video to show how both drives on this laptop could be upgraded and, at least in korea, how they are meant to be upgraded by professionals.

Thanks so much from the UK here for the clear instructions for upgrading the HDDs, especially pointing out the placing of the audio ports making this an easy process 👍

Thank you so much for this! You're so calm, clear and informative. I hadn't even noticed the hard drive bracket that was in the bag with the manuals!
Edit: Had to come back just to praise you more, you are SO good at showing everything and not leaving anything out by accident just cause you're used to doing it. Bravo, honestly.

Thank you for this video. I went through a lot of videos just to see the type and size of the hard drive that goes in that compartment and every other video they just point at it. Thank you again.

Thank you so much for the calm and clear instructions, I wouldn't have managed without this video.

Thank you so much for posting this video! I just added my SSHD in yesterday and I can’t tell you how glad I am that you brought up a lot of details.
In particular, it got a little bit scary propping open the case because the board was getting stuck to the ports! Luckily, you brought this up and said to open from the other side and, voila, it opened up quite easily.

In case you all had an HDD/SSD failing and want to buy another one and don't know which one (NVMe, SATA) or which length (2280, 2260...etc), I've been there, and had to learn it by myself. FOR M2 PORT... I upgraded this same model laptop with an SSD. This laptop has a M2 slot with a M Key port, which is compatible with both M2 SATA and M2 Nvme. As for the length, u can go with 2280, (or smaller as far as i know). Thought I can help you all, I was really confused before doing the upgrade, did some research, photo references, learnt a lil bit about the SSDs, HDDs and M2 ports... and there you go. Hopefully you will find this comment

I like the laptop cushion pad and the automatic screw driver. This save so much time and more comfortable to watch with the cushion pad.
Cheers for the advice on the audio jack.

In some other video is saw the guy, removing the plastic flap under the screen, just to open the back cover for ssd upgrade. Thanks for this tutorial, cause applying the plastic flap back again was a pain.

Thanks for the opening of this machine. While I am familiar with bench work for laptops. Not everyone feels comfortable with it and I like the way you help people in such a video. =D
....plus I almost forgot the screws on the 2.5" bracket until you mentioned it, so thanks for the reminder! lol
