Did anyone upgrade the RAM/SSD in Acer swift 3 SF315-52G? and how is the performance?

I want to upgrade my laptop RAM and SSD for video editing and content creating, as my laptop lags while editing on premiere pro. so Is it good to upgrade my laptop and will it work fine? anyone who did have upgraded it earlier?

Which drive did it come with? Yours supports both an NVMe SSD in the M.2 slot and a SATA3 HDD/SSD in the 2.5" bay. If yours came with the SSD it might need a HDD cable to install the 2.5". Your system has two memory slots and supports up to 32GB. Which processors does yours have, what speed of memory is installed now? It looks like they shipped the early SF315-52G models with a 7th gen processor and 2400 memory, then later with an 8th gen processor and 2666 memory... The CPU and GPU are soldered in, so not replaceable.

Your Swift 3 SF315-52G memory RAM is a max of 32GB and has 2x slots (2 banks of 1) and comes OEM with standard RAM  of 8GB removable.

Also your storage drive of your Swift 3 SF315-52G is of form factor M.2 and has a drive interface of 1x PCIe M.2 connector that is a PCIe 2280 and can accommodate NVMe type M.2 SSD also. It has also provision for a 1x 2.5 inch SATA 3 - 6Gb/s SSD

If you want to find out Max RAM through cmd prompt you can do this by going to: cmd prompt and use it as administrator and use this command: wmic memphysical get MaxCapacity, MemoryDevices

Then divide what you get in “MaxCapacity” by 1048576 then divide what you get in “MemoryDevices” which will give you the max RAM per slot, simple!

Btw, if you want a more extensive guide on RAM? Have a look at this site here: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-get-full-memory-specs-speed-size-type-part-number-form-factor-windows-10 as it explains “How to get full PC memory specs (speed, size, type, part number, form factor) on Windows 10” and all that you want to know about RAM, simple.

Is it worth to upgrade? Will the performance of my laptop improve, if I upgrade with 16 gb RAM and SSD? Because I'll be using my laptop for editing in premiere Pro.

It looks like you have two SODIMM sockets and each socket supports up to 16GB DDR4 2666 modules, so you should be able to max it out at 32GB of memory. Ignore that utility, it only looks at the chipset and not the actual hardware.
