Could I get a new SSD or PCI-e Samsung Pro M2 960 put in this model. It has Samsung 850 SSD and load Win 10 Pro on it?

I think that’s the Sager 9377. If so then I think it predates the m.2 technology, so not possible. I does have multiple slots , 2 of each, for mSata and 2.5 “ thin drives. The second mSata is under the keyboard.
Here’s a link I kept from a couple of years ago that shows it’s interior and has good info. http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/sager-np9377-clevo-p377sm-a-review-by-htwingnut.749943/ Double check the model number to confirm my info. Hope this helps. |

As far as gpu upgrade, I don’t believe the new 10 series cards like gtx 1070 will fit or the laptops power supply be sufficient to upgrade. The new 10 series are full size gpu , not full size card of course, and need the laptop designed for them.
A call to DS is always the best idea just to make sure . Hate to say, but imho, buying an upgradable laptop is kind of a waste. A couple of generations later cpu and gpu don’t normally fit plus they are very expensive. |

Looks like a 960 SSD drive is only upgrade option.
Thanks |
