@whitestar_999 and @omega44-xt my Friends,

I won't make it a Dual Boot Laptop as commented earlier. Actually,don't want to shrink the size of Windows Partition.

This Laptop will remain as with Windows 10(64-bit).

My previous Laptop purchased at Diwali Sale by Flipkart on 2014 was a DELL Inspiron 14 5447(Intel Core i5-4th Gen.)
With 8GB of DDR3 RAM.(Actually it was initially 4GB,but I added a 4GB RAM extra later).
IT IS RUNNING AND WORKING ABSOLUTELY FINE.


Modifications done were: I swapped out the Samsung 1TB HDD and attached a Crucial 512GB Sata SSD.
Windows was erased and I had installed Linux Mint 20(64-bit) MATE Desktop(as Default) currently working now.
Previously I had run openSUSE 15(Leap),Fedora 30,31,32,UBUNTU-19,...various flavours of Linux.

Linux runs much,much,more effiently and faster than Windows.

If the laptop has 2666MHz RAM, get a DDR4 2666MHz laptop RAM & so on (laptop RAM is physically smaller than desktop ones).
Finally got the Lap and ran CPU-Z on it. Attached output can you please check and suggest models for RAM upgrade?

DDR4 2400MHz is what your laptop supports at max, but the manufacturer put in 2666MHz as they likely have a lot of those in stock. So buy 2400/2666MHz stick, should work.
Any particular brand or model? Also while searching I am seeing a lot of options like single channel, non ecc, 260 pin etc. What should I look for?

Interesting, but MSI after sales support is still the biggest negative factor outweighing all positive factors for msi products in India.
Already contacted them(MSI Service center) in Kolkata center by one of their representatives. EVEN BEFORE PURCHASING THIS LAPTOP!!!
Seems to be reliable while conversing.

Ultimately, my luck ,my fate.

Actually I wanted the Ryzen 5 4500U version of this laptop. But AMAZON has mentioned out of stock,and Flipkart hasn't posted the Ryzen version onto their site.

I guess you can then be the first reviewer of msi after sales support here in case you face any issues during warranty period(do buy extended warranty from msi if possible). :)

Warranty already extended for 3 more months(FREE).
Ultimately,MSI online service center and help sucksssss!!!!
I wanted to download device drivers but in vain.


@whitestar_999 , just a suggestion ,Friend.
According to Flipkart's policy,my last date of returning this Laptop is 15th Nov. 2020.
Shall I return this and instead take this,

HP 15s Core i5 10th Gen - (4 GB + 32 GB Optane/512 GB SSD/Windows 10 Home) 15s-du1065TU Thin and Light Laptop (15.6 inch, Jet Black, 1.74 kg, With MS Office) ]
?

Flipkart doesn't refund back the money,but replaces the product.
What is your advice,Friend?

Your call. I'm annoyed with Dell's service as well.
