Yes some parts are user upgradable like the RAM, HDD/SSD, wireless card. Other parts are not like the GPU. Other parts can be upgraded by will void your warranty by doing so like the CPU. Did you have a specific part you were curious about?

Sorry, it's a non-starter for your new(er) laptop. I doubt drivers exist for Win7 much less for Win8. Sizing is critical in a laptop, and the connector you need isn't in yours. Motherboard, bus compatibility, physical space, connector, take your pick of obstacles. This card is also 4? maybe 5 generations old. Now, the 7000 series is available with discrete graphics, when ordering, so there might be one available for your machine. Go to the Dell Support site and look up the schematics for your machine. See if it has that info. My Inspiron 17 7000 has nVidia GT 750M inside, so they do build them. Good luck DJS in TX

Yes.... BUT you will have to take a few steps: 1. Befor you insert the win7 hard drive go into the bios and change the UEFI boot over to LEGACY boot... Save settings then shut down. 2. Insert the win7 hard drive and start the computer. 3. Go to MSI.com and get all the windows 7 drivers for the MSI GT70 Dominator (NOT MSI GT70 DOMINATOR PRO) 4. Install drivers restarting between each driver install. 5. After last restart you should be good to go with all devices working properly! Hope I helped... Note: When I first got this computer I did the same thing. But due curiosity I gave win8.1 a try if you have patience with learning your way around a little different version of windows its actually a really good OS so long as you set it to boot to desktop of course :) Not pushing you to try it but just a thought... now Im using win8.1 and its my preference. Enjoy this machine if you get its awesome!

It depends on the exactly model of your MSI Motherboard. Just check whether it supports DDR3 1600 Mhz or not.

Yes, the Asrock G31-MS has a compatable 1 x PCI Express x16 slot. The GT 610 is compatable with Windows 7 64 Bit and 4Gb of ram is more than enough. I recommend a much more powerful newer card for gaming. This one is okay for some older games.

Yes---you can go up to 16GB in 2 slots but to upgrade the graphics you really would need to put in a more powerful power supply as well.Keep in mind it is a rather small motherboard, unless CyberpowerPC has changed it in the past 6 months .Here are the MB specs http://us.msi.com/product/mb/H81ME33.html#/?div=BasicIt does nicely at gaming without changing anything, if that's what you want to use it for.

Yes, I upgraded a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop (Celeron 2.0 GHz 440 processor, 2 gig DDR2 667Mhz RAM, 250 GB harddrive) with a step above this card: MSI HD 6570 and it worked quite well with stock OEM Dell power supply.

I'm drawing a blank, however I don't remember noticing the main card as being replaceable. I could be wrong. I do think that having either two GT750m or GT755m in SLI will keep you in the game for some time in the future. I do recommend the use of a laptop cooler when gaming. It pushes some wicked heat out the vents. Better than keeping inside though!

Yes- we recommend we upgrade the card for you. We could add a 3.2 Ghz CPU, and the ATI Radeon 5870 for a combined charge of $200.00. Let us know if interested. Otherwise, these are very easily upgradeable. Thanks!

It might not work but you should ask Technician Support at MSI Corporation. I found old chip was broke, replaced new and updated driver support on my Dell laptop. Awesome upgrading it.

Yes you can. You can upgrade to a GTX 650 without having to upgrade the power supply brick. You can also upgrade to the GTX 660 but you will need the larger power supply brick which is about $140.00. I have the GTX 645 in my rig and I love it. I'm playing BF4 at 1080P and it looks beautiful.

Yes both can be upgraded. However there is only one so-DIMM socket so I think 8GB is max at the moment. If you go to Dell.com/support you can get find the manual for any of there hardware.

It will support Windows 7 if you want to install it once you get it, however per your question MSI does not offer any versions of the GT70 2OC models with 7 pre-installed by them. Windows 8 has come a long way since its release over a year ago and may people have come to really like it. Especially with the recent release of 8.1.

Yes you can. There is, however, a process. Your going to have to call ASUS, which is a hassle until you get to a department that can actually help you, and have them e-mail you a free shipping slip along with the RMA forms. You will be without your computer for 1-2 weeks and may have your system wiped clean. I suggest you do two upgrades and make your life a hell of a lot easier. The video card seems to have a huge issue with the wires coming off of the fan connectors and the power supply unit barely cuts it. Grab yourself a 430-500 watt (high rated!) PSU and a video card in your budget (save for a GTX 660 or something) and you will be happy as hell with your system. This ~$200 upgrade will turn your rig into a true powerhouse, without breaking the bank too much.

I can verify that for my MSI GT70, the power supply works fine, even better than the original power supply that came with the system. As far as the GT60 using the same power supply, I can only assume it will work as I believe both laptops have the same power supply requirements. Please check with the MSI manufacture page.
