Is my Acer Extensa-15 (EX215-55-369W) upgradable? Can it be upgraded to 1TB instead?

Duval_Neil

This laptop is relatively new, but I needed to have this upgraded. Currently, the specs for this are this:

Processor: 12th Gen Inter core i3.

Ram: 8GB

SSD: 512GB

I would love to know if these can be upgraded or if I am stuck with these, especially with the SSD. Can it be upgraded to 1TB instead?

You can add 1x8GB DDR4 RAM in slot 2, copy the part number of the 8GB DDR4 module in slot 1 and Google that, buy exactly the same module so you will have a 16GB kit 2x8GB that will run in Dual Chanel Mode, 3200 MHz. Or Run CPU-Z or WMIC in the command prompt:
wmic memorychip list full if you don't yet want to open your laptop,

You can add 1 NVMe SSD Gen 3.0 in the free PCIe slot. Kingston recommends:

Note that you are not limited to 1TB either, you can put whatever size SSD that fits your wallet.
