Acer Spin 3 SP314-53-54DR Motherboard information needed!

Hi C-world,

I just got a Acer Spin 3 SP314-53-54DR (2018 "Model") Part Number: NX.HD4SA.006

after read this "Datasheet" (https://www.acer.com/datasheets/2019/4876/SP314-53/NX.HD4SA.006.html)

I almost gave-up on trying to upgrade the SSD/hard-drive on this hardware and opp-to portable SSD's instead I did some research on the motherboard "ports/jacks" and noticed that there is an option for a 2.5-inche via a "PCIe-Cable?' not 100% sure hence, why I'm here!

here is some pics of the internals; I "think I know what to look for when it comes to the internal-ports/jacks"

It's pretty much named HHD or SSD around the port/jack somewhere!?

however on this more I don't know what i am looking at!

Can someone point it out if they know which of these ports/jacks are

first one next to (Z/red & black bios battery cables: J5102)

second one left/X of (screw-hole: BOT CON6900)

Third one top/Y of (screw-hole: CON3101)

Hi,
I could identify two connections except the second one(CON6900), I have asked my colleagues about this and will let you know, the first connection(J5102) is for HDD cable and the third connection(CON3101) is for Keyboard backlight cable.

I have a long-shot since you know about this motherboard; Can the GPU be upgrade!
I'm not 100% sure!

You are welcome

unfortunately, the GPU can not be upgraded in this model and all modern laptops.
