• A:Answer Actually, I bought this from Best Buy a in November 2024 and I update the memory to 64G (using 2 32G Crucial CT2K32G56C46S5) with no problem and the memory was recognized. I also added a 4T SSD drive (SAMSUNG 990 RPO SSD 4TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 MZ-V9P4T0B/AM) to the 2nd slot and this is also working with no problem. I did this in two steps. First, I replaced the memory and power on to make sure the memory was recognized. Next I installed the SSD and power on and verified that they worked. Its been 3 weeks now and no issues.
