Acer Aspire V15 Nitro replace HDD to SSD

chin

I bought this laptop in March 2015. This laptop come with 1TB HDD.

 

I wanted to replace HDD to SSD but I called service center (Highpoint Service), Acer technician told me that there is no way to replace with SSD because the port is different, no matter what SSD also can't compatible with this laptop's HDD port.

 

 

This make me very confuse because I search around google, replace with SSD is totally possible. 

 

So I am here to ask for advise. Hope can get an answer. Thank you.

you have 2 options on your laptop:

1) switch the 1TB HDD to an SSD

2) add a SSD on M2 factory form on its slot (top left side, near the fan), so you can have both HDD and SSD installed

 

about the second option, other users did it and sometimes they had some issues on saving the SSD as first bootable device (or window boot manager), since the BIOS tries to boot from SATA port.

you can force it, pressing F12 at boot and selecting the proper boot device.

 

it's up to you.
