    Hi!!

    @Antoine226

    I understand that you wanted to upgrade your laptop specs. Below is the current specs on Memory & Storage. 



    Below is the Memory module complete spec + Upgrade options:-


    Now, coming to Hard drive upgrade options. Your laptop came with SSD of 256GB PCI NVME type. You also have an option to add 1TB or 2TB SATA HDD of size 7.2mm/7mm to the unit. Below is the image showing HDD models, which are tested and confirmed as working by Acer. 


    I hope the information provided helps you upgrading your laptop.

    Hi,
    Yes, you can use a 2.5" SSD in the HDD bay, as for the memory upgrade, you can upgrade up to 32GB but it will be an overkill, I would suggest you install CPU-z and find out the specs of your current memory module, buy another 8GB module with same specs and install to make the total memory of 16GB, avoid buying any modules with XMP profile or automatic overclocking feature.
