    Good day

     

    There is a HDD door at the back of the machine. You can choose to install the OS on the SSD or the HDD

    thanks for the quick response!!!

    i was a bit confused as on the acer support website i found this answer

     

    Can I add a conventional hard disk to my Aspire M5-481 with a SSD installed?

     

    You can add a hard disk to your Aspire M5-481. However, when you add a hard disk, the new hard drive automatically becomes the drive from which your system starts up. The originally installed Solid State Drive (SSD) can only be used as a storage device. As a result, your Windows installation on the SSD will no longer start up. This behaviour cannot be changed.

     

    does it mean that the new drive automatically becomes boot device?

    and is the warranty voided?

    cheers
