So my info is still valid, Acer & MSI are still doing that.
As said earlier, for my friend with Acer laptop, the service guy didn't put a sticker after 2nd service. Check what MSI guys do.

More weird things happening.
The service center guy to whom I talked was annoyed that I had bought an ADATA 8GB DDR4 RAM. He said these cheap RAM's and those also from Crucial are all pieces of sh!ts!!!! These RAM's make the laptop unstable and blah,blah,...
He insisted on using on Samsung and Hynix manufacturer based DDR4 RAM's only for this Model(MSI Modern 14 B10MW-220IN).
He told me I could use ADATA RAM but that will be on my own risk...and service center won't replace RAM modules(through my cost)everytime.
I don't feel the logic here.
@whitestar_999 anything to add here?
I mean only Hynix and Samsung RAM's are okay,but all other RAM's are Trash. Is this true?
Also @omega44-xt , what are your views regarding these?

Refer my old post earlier where I said I have caught a HP CC guy lying. Similar stuff happened with Dell with me & with others. In my office, my supervisor spent 28k for 2x16GB RAM from Dell instead of buying it locally for half the price as my supervisor believes Dell's lies regarding compatibility & stuff. So I see no reason why MSI won't do it considering they have even tried to strong arm small YouTubers for good reviews. At least Dell just doesn't send review units for not so good laptops as soon as its launched, like Alienwares.
Samsung RAM modules are considered best for OC & stuff on desktops, many RAM manufacturers buy memory from Samsung.

Recently I was reading some comments on Reddit where some users mentioned about Samsung based C-die RAM modules were causing random errors for their AMD setups when they enabled XMP profile. Some of those comments also mentioned that Samsung B-die and Micron modules are most stable. Anyone here had similar experience or comment anything about it?

In laymans terms,will the ADATA 8GB DDR4 RAM module work in tandem with this MSI laptop?
In short 99.99% chance adata ram will work fine. Also I rate crucial as the best laptop ram available in indian market, that msi sales guy didn't know or didn't tell that samsung does not officially sell laptop ram in India to general public so you can't get warranty for such ram as all samsung ram you see on amazon/flipkart are oem units & not retail unis on which warranty applies.
See my above reply, you can only get samsung ram with warranty in India by purchasing other brands using samsung ram in which case you won't know which die it is using until you actually install the ram so just buy a brand with good after sales support which will replace your ram for such rare issues(I say rare because if it becomes widespread then manufacturers themselves will take some action).

You are right. Apparently Crucial is owned by Micron who are one of manufacturers. So at least in India we should prefer Crucial RAM's so that we don't face RMA related problems, unless their After sales service is bad. Any idea about Crucial's after sales service ?

So, @whitestar_999 , shall I attach the extra 8GB DDR4 RAM from ADATA by violating the warranty(due to removal of FACTORY SEAL from backside)?
I don't suggest it, msi guy cannot refuse to install your ram & at worst he will charge you ~500 as service charge(since this is not warranty related service as laptop is working fine) but other manufacturers charge similar amount for upgrading as this case does not come under warranty.

IF MSI has some public forum, post there if they refuse to install your RAM, use other social media sites as well.As far as I have learnt,MSI will not charge me.
But they will refuse to use the ADATA RAM,even if they do ,with much reluctance...
They are saying that using ADATA RAM will raise issues...what type of issues nobody knows!!!!
Just ask them to give this in writing(that adata ram cause issue in msi laptop) & tell them you will use it to get refund from amazon. Most likely they will agree to install ram.As far as I have learnt,MSI will not charge me.

Haha yeah. This is something I'll keep in time I buy a laptop next time and need to upgrade RAM.

In India many things people say will never give in writing which is proof enough to show those things are not correct.

Except for the Warranty & Service Center issues,this Laptop MSI Modern 14 B10MW-220IN seems to be quite a promising laptop for non-gamers alike me.
AS per reddit forum as advised by @whitestar_999 , they are saying that Laptop warranty will be void if I destroy the Factory Seal. One user/member advised to use a hair dryer so as to peel off the label ,and after attaching the RAM,it SHOULD BE PASTED properly ACCORDING TO POSITION it was initially. Friend, @whitestar_999 , do you recommend this?

No, that hair dryer trick may not work for all types of stickers & even where it works it can only be done by someone experienced.
