    Here is just a bit for advice to you, as yes, you can upgrade to the WD SN-570 M.2 SSD as the AN515-45 M.2 interface is the PCIe 3 x4 type M.2 drives and the SN-570 is a good and very compatible WD mid-range M.2 drive, but your laptop would perform much better with the WDs top of the range M.2 PCIe 3 x4 model WD Black SN750 M.2 drive or the Samsung range like the 970 EVO Plus: that is best for higher sustained writing speeds, and the differences between EVO are negligible for average users, as really their top of the range 970 Pro that is just a higher price M.2 drive that does not back its price to any high-end benchmark performance in comparing with their EVO or their EVO Plus. I would say that the overall best value as far as a Samsung M.2 PCIe 3 x4 drive is the 970 EVO or the WD Black SN750 drives.

    With ram the AN515-54 has the following suggested specs from Acer but also do the Crucial System Scan as that is a very good alternative to what type of ram and total ram that this laptop can work with.

    The best and cheapest way to upgrade your ram as the AN515-45 comes OEM with a 1x 8GB DDR4 stick of ram is to install CPUz and look at this software's SPD section at what manufacturer and part number ram is fitted to your laptop and buy the same and exact ram or if you can't buy that then buy the same and exact specs of an additional 1x DDR4 8GB specs ram so that your laptop function with dual channel ram.
