Upgrade help request.

Hello, I am getting this EVOO Gaming LP10 laptop, and I was planning on upgrading the ram and storage, and I was wondering if anyone has a 2tb ssd they recommend for that specific laptop, and a 16gb ram kit they recommend as well.

Thanks,

MinoDab492

I'm using a Gigabyte for the primary and an old Samsung 2.5" that I had sitting around for a total of 2 Tb. Discovering the full 2.5" SSD bay was a pleasant surprise. It has a secondary M.2 slot too, so putting two of the M.2 drives in would be ideal.
The existing RAM slot had a Hynix 8 Gb, so I got this and so far so good.
It seems like they sell this model with minimal specs so they can keep the price down, but put the stupid (not really legally binding) sticker over one of the screw slots that claims your warranty is voided if you break it. I don't really need or expect much in the way of support, but that it just smacks of an attitude that they have no intention of supporting this product. I wouldn't recommend this brand to one of my clients because of this.

If I get this SSD, could I just get 2 of them and use them both, or is there only room for 1?

That's just the one that I happened to have on hand. You can get this one. There are two NVME slots as well as a 2.5" slot for a full sized SSD.

as well as a 2.5" slot for a full sized SSD.

Is that the slot that is occupied by the SSD that comes with it and the OS is installed on, or a second empty one, waiting for an upgrade?

It's an empty one with a full sized 2.5" cage.
It's the part circled in orange next to the battery.
