Connect wired accessories using a USB 2.0 or two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, or a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port. Or, pair to wireless peripherals using Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity. Choose between Wi-Fi 6 and wired Gigabit Ethernet for your online connection. An integrated HD webcam and dual speakers allow you to stay connected with family and friends, while a dedicated TPM chip ensures platform integrity. The MSI Crosshair 17 runs on the Windows 10 Home operating system.

USB 3.2 Gen 1
USB 3.2 Gen 1 features a maximum throughput of 5 Gb/s and is synonymous with USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.0.
Windows 10 Features
Start Menu
After its hiatus in Windows 8, the Start Menu has returned. Utilizing a combination of the traditional menu system and Windows 8's Live Tiles, the improved Start Menu gives you more information at a glance, showing notification information alongside your applications and other pinned items.
Cortana
Microsoft's digital personal assistant, Cortana can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Notebook, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information gathering skills.
Microsoft Edge
After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With Microsoft Edge, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser.
Windows Store
For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.
Windows Continuum
Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it's not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.
Xbox on Windows 10
Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.

I needed a fast laptop to be used for digital photoshop processing I was uncertain when I purchased this Laptop but to my surprise this exceeded my expectation as far as performance, screen color accuracy it boots up fast and has a flawless speedy internet connection The screen brightness is about 400 nits and the sound quality is OK but not as other luxury laptops but not bad either

Great Laptop for What?

This is a gaming laptop that I purchased for photo editing. Does it do the job? You Bet. Transfers from card to laptop using my card reader is quick and when it comes to the actual editing of photos this laptop performs flawlessly. Today's games take a lot of power to run correctly so using a gaming laptop to do photo editing was a no brainer. It's a large laptop (17) and is pretty hefty so not really a field laptop unless you don't mind the added weight to your backpack, but for home use it does a great job.

Good Entry-Mid Level Gaming Laptop

This is my second MSI gaming laptop. I bought one in 2018 for the same price. The new one has better hardware because as time goes we all know hardware just gets better. The screen is crystal clear and fast. The back of the screen or top of the laptop does not light up like older models. The MSI Dragon decal was falling off when I opened the box, so far it has stayed on after pushing it back in place. Dragon Center is not supported, miss that feature. So far overall impression is good. Love B&H Photo, great place to buy from, best price and fast shipping.

I've been able to depend on this machine for uninterrupted editing sessions and rendering. This device also lives up to being a gaming laptop; allowing me to play my favorite games at max settings. It has the necessary hardware to support smooth playback, my multiple open programs, and desire for beautiful imagery.

Will the OS need to be migrated if a larger SSD is installed? How is this accomplished?
Asked by: Leland
Yes, you would need to migrate the OS if you upgraded the SSD on the MSI 17.3" Crosshair 17 Gaming Laptop (Titanium Gray) BH #MS17A11DK091. You could use an external enclosure like the Sabrent USB 3.2 Type-C Tool-Free Enclosure for M.2 PCIe NVMe and SATA SSDs BH #SAECSNVE to clone the SSD using an application like Macrium Reflect (Free Edition). Once you successfully clone it, you can swap them and continue using the old SSD externally with the enclosure.
