    which one would you think is better adding? ssd or ram? if ssd how do i reinstall windows in it?

    Personnaly when upgrading I go for the RAM 1st and 16gb is my minimum. RAM affects the speed of everything you do, load times and the speed which a program or game runs, on the other hand an SSD only really improves load times. So I would do the RAM 1st, the link I gave you for the Crucial RAM is good quality and compatible for you model

    Please click YES if I answered your question

    I am not an ACER employee
    Thank you and have a blessed day  B)

    The first step is to open the notebook and install ssd:
    The opening process is similar to the model an515-51. However, you should check with acer support if opening the notebook violates the warranty.
    Then we will continue when you have installed.
    Next step after connecting?

    Can you mention all steps that would help me setup the new ssd and fresh install windows in it and remove the windows from hdd? Thanks

    The next step is to press f2 to enter uefi as soon as you turn on the notebook and check if ssd is being recognized in the information tab.

    Then create a password in setsupervisorpassword and disable secureboot while still in uefi. Also enable the f12 boot menu function and press f10 to save on exit.Download easy partition or macrium reflect and clone hdd to ssd by selecting all partitions:

    Thanks for thw steps but is it possible for you to tell me the steps where i can clean install windows 10 in SSD without cloning anything and then clean the windows from HDD? Thanks! 
  • If you really want to install windows using a microsoft iso, which I do not advise, I suggest you first create a backup of the windows 10 image using acer care center.

    Will this remove the windows from HDD and install new windows in SSD? because i want hdd to only have my data files and No windows in HDD
  • That's why I recommend that you clone hdd to ssd. That way, all your files, operating system, and Acer recovery partition will be cloned to ssd. Once you have done that, you can format the hd.

    Yes! However, before formatting hdd, it is important that you verify that windows is booting from ssd by disconnecting hdd. If everything is ok, plug in the hdd and then format it.

    Iam planning on using the windows install media tool to install the windows 10 from my hdd to the pendrive and then use that to install pendrive to install the windows in my SSD.

    So i wanted to know if the laptop when manufactured had any extra softwares installed along the windows and will i be losing those if i do this method
  • All software (acer care center, nitro sense and acer quick access) can be installed. However, in my opinion, the best solution is to clone hdd to ssd.
