SSD question

Hello all,

I'm thinking about buying the MSI GT683DX laptop, but I would like to strip out the two HDD Raid config and replace it with a small SDD for Windows and a larger SDD for games, Is this possible I've never owed a laptop if this can be done is it just as easy as doing it on a desktop IE take one out put the new one in install windows then off you go or is there more to it with a laptop?

Many thanks

Or just buy a SSD for the OS and leave one of the HDD as storage and the other HDD as backup with an external casing.
Currently on a laptop with a SSD OS and took out the optical drive and replaced it with the mechanical harddrrive.

Just out of interest would it support 3hdd/ssds? What if you had an ssd in place of the optical drive and the two hdds and an external dvd/blueray? Is this possible?
