Swift 3 "Swift SF314-51" SSD upgrade

Hello

my Swift SF314-51 is 256GB SSD and I would like to upgrade it (512GB as per Acer recommendations, or maybe 1TB if I decide to go out of Acer recommendations).

I found tutos on Internet about how to disassemble SF315 or SF314-54 or others, but never the real "SF314-51".

Looking at vidéos, Swift SF314-51 is different from these other models aforementionned (not the same cooling, not the same cabling etc.), that's logical, each model has a specific physical structure obviously.

My question, is there somewhere a vidéo (ideally) or maybe photos or set of detailed instructions, about how to reach Swift SF314-51 SSD and replace it? I don't want to dismount everything on the laptop until I come upon the SSD... ;-)

Best Regards.

Hello

Do you know why it is not recommended? I mean, is it a matter of "unsupported situation", or "poor performance", or "too much heat", or is it that there is a high risk it won't work at all due to incompatibility?
