Q: Can we install an extra SSD to this? if yes what option is there PCI Express or M.2 or SATA

A: According to a Dell Technical Support Specialist, you can add an SSD to this laptop. It contains an M.2 connection. "sorry for the delay, yes, that comes with an m.2 slot." I also downloaded the instruction manual, and it contains instructions on how to "replace" the M.2 SSD. (in this instance it would be how to install since it does not come with an M.2 SSD installed.)

Q: Does this laptop come with Windows Ink? What I really need to know is if you can use a stylus to draw on the screen.

A: Yes. It is Windows Ink compliant and ready. It is already installed in the system. You just need to purchase the Bamboo Stylus for $70 and you're golden. I use mine with Adobe Illustrator, to design websites, etc.

Q: Can I switch the Hard Drive on this to a Solid State Drive? If so, is it hard to do? and how should I know which solid state drive to get?

A: You can switch the hd for a ssd but this laptop has an unused m.2 slot for a secondary drive. I installed a m.2 240gb Samsung 850 evo and migrated the OS and kept the 1tb had drive for storage.

Q: Are the fans loud? Do they make any sound at all?

A: Haven't heard any fans yet!
