Yes, in that case it's straight forward, you can just swap the SSD and perform a clean install of Windows 11, you can also leave the old SSD in the SATA slot for storage.

Hi, The second slot is only for a M.2 SATA SSD, so I would suggest you replace the original M.2 SSD with the new Samsung 980 and recover the image on to it from the original drive because 980 can provide you with SATA speed and you will not benefit from the PCIe 4 speeds. I would suggest you use the Migration feature to…

Hi, Could you please post the full model name of your laptop and the model name of the memory modules, I don't think you can change any Advanced settings in BIOS, so I would suggest you avoid any changes to BIOS.

Could you please wait for someone else to help you out, leave the thread open and someone else will reply.

Hi, Could you please post the full model name of your laptop, like AN515-xx.

Hi, You can use a memory module with CL=22, you need a DDR4 3200MHz modules with JEDEC profile, like these examples: https://www.memorycow.co.uk/16gb-ddr4-pc4-25600-3200mt-s-260-pin-sodimm-non-ecc-memory-ram-2r8 https://eu.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/acer/nitro-5-an517-41-r7ux 2.

Hi, Go to Device Manager, expand Cameras, right click Camera and select Properties, move to Driver tab and uninstall the Driver, reboot and let the system ubstall the driver for Camera, check whether the camera works.

Nice find, glad you have resolved the issue, well done 😀

Hi, What's the full model's name, most of the laptops don't have Advanced settings available in BIOS, so I would suggest you install memory modules with JEDEC profile, that's the better option in my opinion.

Hi, Could you please post the full model name of your computer, like A5xx-xx or similar, normally it appears at the back of the Laptop/PC on a lable.

It was preinstalled on a Windows 11 laptop, I think there are some corrupted files causing this problem, so give Revo uninstaller a chance to delete those left over files and start afresh. You can also give this a try, I found it in Google search: Google Workspace | Storage in Drive

Hi, Yes, you can upgrade memory up to 16GB in your laptop, you need to find out whether you have 2x4GB setup or 1x8GB in your laptop, if you have 1x8GB and an empty slot, get another 8GB module with same specification as the current 8GB module, if you have 2x4GB, you need to get 2x8GB DDR4 3200MHz modules but avoid any…

Hi, Your SATA mode is in RAID, you could try switching to AHCI mode and see but please backup your system amd any important data to an external HDD before trying the methods mentioned here: Switch from RAID to AHCI on Acer Nitro 5 AN515-54 - Page 2 — Acer Community TUTORIAL: How To Switch Sata Mode on Acer Nitro 5 to AHCI!…

No, you are looking at the wrong side, read my other post.

You have to insert a 2280 size M.2 SSD and use the screw at the bottom to secure it.

No, the picture doesn't show the screw I have asked, you need to extend towards right.

No problem, my model is different from yours and it's not safe to install an App meant for other models, it will not work in your model but if you insist you have to try it at your own risk after saving all your important data. My version is 3.00.3162 from here: Product Support - Predator PT516-51s | Acer United States

Hi, Could you please expand your picture to show the screw marked in my picture and post it, in the meantime, you can compare the video (@8:09)and see whether it helps to resolve the issue, you can install a PCIe 3 or a SATA SSD in the slot.
