First MSI laptop few inquiries (swapping ssd and warranty) gaming computer builder

Hello everyone,

My laptop shipped today and I couldn't be more excited. MSI Dominator Pro GT72VR 450. This will be my first MSI. Up until now I've only had Asus laptops. I've been reading up on the laptop and MSI's warranties and I just had a few General questions.

I'm wanting to swap out the m2 ssd. I was thinking the best way to go about this... Would this work?

Swap out the old stick.

Boot to bios.

Select boot from USB.

Install windows ISO.

Install most recent drivers (USB).

Update windows.

Install Nvidia.

Call it a day?

In my head that'd work out fine but I've never fresh installed OS and drivers on a laptop before,

Would popping the back panel to upgrade ssd void warranty? are there any concerns with taking off the bottom panel? Any stubborn clips?

Any recommendations for a m2? Crucial had some competitively priced sticks and great ratings on Amazon.

That's one thing I always appreciated about Asus... Or do I need to purchase one?

Thank you for your time!!
