MSI GS43VR 7RE - worth upgrading?

[MikeLikesLaptops]

Hi all,

I have an MSI GS43VR 7RE. It has taken a beating over the last few years but is still working. I have replaced the battery last month after it expanded and nearly broke the case.

Is there any part of the laptop I can replace to boost performance? Also, with a 7th gen Intel, I will miss out on Windows 11, will that be a big deal in a few years?

I think you should look into something more concurrent, the existing laptop has nothing worth upgrading, apart from increasing the storage capacity on the laptop.
