Can I
add RAM / Upgrade processor /upgrade SSD in Acer SW5-15.  For adding RAM to another model i found answer "NO" because it's soldered. Well now, i do soldering every day...
Upgrading to 64 bit would be on list too, but actually, that's quite simple - and not sure if not change to Linux, at the same ;)

    no you can't and it's not only a matter or desoldering-resoldering (apart having the proper tool and it's not a standard soldering iron) but you will need a custom BIOS to recognise the added ram and CPU I/O.
