Question 1

Can this be upgraded to Windows 10 Pro?

Accepted Answer

Hello David,

Thank you for contacting us with your question. We apologize. Since Newegg is strictly a reseller we are unable to modify or customize an item. The item is brand new and will be shipped to you with the manufacturer seal with the features listed. However, you are able to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro through Microsoft or through Windows Activation located under settings.

Thank you,

Question 2

What RAM does this PC have? I would like to upgrade to 16Gb

Accepted Answer

The label on the RAM says:
SK hynix - 8GB 1Rx8 PC4 - 2400T - SA1 - 11
HMA81GS6AFR8N - UH N0 AC 1820

I pulled it out because I replaced it with 16GB of other matching RAM I had laying around.

Question 6

Is the 256GB SSD a SATA or NVMe type?

Accepted Answer

Hwinfo and Speccy both indicate the SSD in my S530FN is a SanDisk M.2 SATA III drive. The conventional hard drive also has a SATA III connection in case you wanted to replace it with a 2.5 inch SSD as well.

Question 7

Is there a lock slot available on this model?

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Based on what is pictured it does not look like this model has a Kensington lock to enable you to lock it,   my apologies for the inconvenience.

Question 8

Am I able to add additional ram?

Accepted Answer

The laptop comes with 1 8 GB stick of RAM but has 2 SO-DIMM slots and dual-channel memory support so you can add in an extra stick. ASUS indicates that the maximum supported memory is 16 GB. Be aware that like most ultrabook style laptops it's not easy to open it up to upgrade.
