Question 1

Can I have this machine with Windows 7?

Accepted Answer

I haven't tried, but I don't see any reason why you couldn't. You would have to do a new install.

Question 2

There are 4 RAM slots? So, can I upgrade this machine to 32GB RAM?

Accepted Answer

There is a seal sticker in the back of PC saying" warranty void if opened". So I didn't even bother to open. Apparently manufacturer discourages you to do any customization.

Question 3

If I were to buy the 12gb memory configuration would that be the max supported or will i be able to upgrade it past that to say 16gb?

Accepted Answer

The machine will hold a maximum of 16GB, however I have mine configured with the 12 GB and it handles anything I throw at it.  Short of using it as a full on game machine, I don't see the need for additional ram.  If you are using it as a full on game machine I highly recommend upgrading to the high end video card option which will benefit you far more than additional system ram.  Sweet piece of engineering by MSI.
