Aurora R8, OS SDD and Memory upgrade options
My wife's R8 came with a 128GB SSD for the OS of which Windows takes up most of. Therefore it's almost impossible for the computer to function. So she wants to replace the OS drive with at least 2TB.
Need to know what options we have (type of drives and speeds possible - i.e. SSD, SATA, PCIe, etc)
Also, what kind of memory will fit in this machine (it came with only 8GB) and what is the max limit as far as speed, type, and size?
I am not there to help her as I am out of the country for 2 months. I am hoping someone in the community has some basic answers.
Thanks in advance!

Assuming the 128GB storage is an M.2 NVMe SSD your most simple option would be to add a 2TB 2.5" SATA SSD.
Memory is DDR4 up to 64GB (4 x 16GB) and 3200 MHz. Consider adding memory modules in pairs for dual channel operation.

@ProfessorW00d - Excellent and what I was looking for. She can handle that easy enough from here.
