Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 10 upgrades
The CPU is most likely soldered (BGA) and not upgradable; sources don't state this explicitly. No 2.5"/3.5" bays, card readers, or expansion slots are mentioned in the sources. The 15IRX10 (Intel) and 15AHP10 (AMD) variants share the memory and M.2 layout described here.

- DDR5 SODIMM: 2 × DDR5 SO-DIMM · up to 32 GB total · 5600 MT/s
- M.2 NVMe SSD slot: 2 × SSD M.2 2242 / M.2 2280 (NVMe)
DDR5 SODIMM 2 × DDR5 SO-DIMM · up to 32 GB total · 5600 MT/s
Lenovo lists up to 32GB (2x16GB); this is the tested offering, not a confirmed hardware limit. Larger modules may work but are unconfirmed. i7-13650HX runs DDR5-4800; other CPUs run 5600. Some models ship with one 16GB stick, leaving a free slot.

M.2 NVMe SSD slot 2 × SSD M.2 2242 / M.2 2280 (NVMe)
Spec lists slots as M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0, but shipped drives are 2242, so confirm which lengths fit in the maintenance manual. On 15AHP10 the second slot is x2 (slower); on 15IRX10 both are x4. Lenovo offers up to 1TB each; larger is untested. SATA M.2 support is not stated.
