Upgrading the A515-54G-54QQ

Aadfhadsff

Is my understanding correct?
(1) I understand that 4Gb is on the motherboard and that I can replace the removable 4Gb SODIMM add a single 16Gb DDR4 PC4-21300 SODIMM.
(2) I understand there is only one PCIe 3 slot, it is occupied with the 500Gb SSD.
(3) A mounting kit and SATA cable was included with the laptop.  I could make a SATA SSD my primary drive.
(4) I understand I could replace the M2 PCIe 3.0 disk with a 16Gb or 32Gb M2 PCIe 3.0 Optane memory.

Thank you

Hi,
1. Yes, you can install a 2666MHz modulue but it may downclock to 2400MHz because your motherboard supports a maximum 2400MHz frequency.
2. Yes, you have a M.2 slot and comes with a M.2 SSD installed.
3. It depends on the region where you buy the laptop, so it's better to get confirmation from the retailer, if the kit is not included, you have to buy it separately.
4. Yes, you can replace the M.2 SSD with an Optane memory and use the 2.5" SSD as the boot drive but it's not an upgrade because there won't be a performance boost by replacing M.2 SSD with Optane memory. Optane memory normally useful when you have a slower spinner 5400rpm HDD.
