RyanWake bradtelle in the win max they don’t have a centimeter of extra space, so taking up space for hot swappable storage doesn’t make sense not to mention that it only has one drive so taking that drive out wouldn’t work because the operating system is on the SSD so taking it out would mean the system wouldn’t work at all

Got mine 2 weeks ago. They must be listening because while the battery was still stuck to the bottom of the case the battery cable was slightly longer and it was easy to remove the entire bottom. I used some tweezers to plug the battery back in at the end and it wasn't that difficult. Also, I did not have to remove any of the fan screws. Maybe they gave it a little bit more clearance. I don't know. There was just enough room to slide the WD 1TB blue ssd. I couldn't justify paying an additonal 150 buck for the additional TB. Hope this helps.

The Indiegogo GDP Win Max funding campaign specs mention "Dual ssd sockets (Socket 3 / Socket 2)". I initially read this as you could install dual m.2 ssds in the Win Max, but having just watched your SSD upgrade video for a second time, your review unit only appears to have a single M.2 SSD socket? Should this really be read as single SSD socket with dual protocol support, viz NVMe and SATA?

No reason you couldn't take the ssd out that comes standard and install Pro on a new ssd to test it first. If you are strapped for cash and don't want to spend the much. Download the OS from MS's website and install it onto a usb stick or something just to test it out. It would run like a turd, but it is cheaper than a $50 ssd to test it right?

Your far better off just cloning the original SSD to the new SSD before you install it. If you don't own another PC that has two M.2 SSD slots, just buy an external USB enclosure for the M.2 SSD, then boot the Win Max, plug in the new SSD via USB, and clone the internal SSD to the external SSD.
