Where is the slot for the SD card on my Acer N18C3 laptop AN515-54 series

I just bought an Acer N18C3 laptop Nitro AN515-54 Series, with windows 11 a couple of days ago. My old computer had Windows 10 and a slot on the side to put your SD card in so that you could download your photos. I buy and sell on eBay and today I took hundreds of product photos. When I went to my new laptop, to my dismay I saw no slot on the side for my SD card. What do I do now? I can't even find the user manual for this new computer to read directions about how to load the photos and because it is Memorial Day weekend Monday my computer guys are closed so I can't call them for help. Can any of you help?

This model has no Card reader. 😑

I have just been told that this model has no card reader. Does that mean I can not load photos at all? I have been dealing with the same computer people for years, and they know I sell on eBay and work with thousands of photographs. They would not have sold me a computer that I could not load photos on. There must be a way to load photos, mustn't there?

You can load images in any format any size very quickly with a large NVMe SSD, consider installing a large 2TB NVMe SSD, there are 2 slots for Gen3 SSDs. like the NVMe Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB.

My camera uses SD cards, a Sandisk Ultra 16 gb. My brother says I need to insert the card into some sort of adapter and then plug the adapter into the computer. Is that what you are talking about? I am not well versed in computer language.

Check if your camera has a USB slot (like a mobile phone) and tether the camera to the laptop with a USB cable and transfer the pictures, check the instruction manual of your camera how to transfer files with a USB cable to a Windows laptop without a card reader. If your camera does not have a USB port, you need, like your brother said, an external card reader. ($10-20) like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-USB-Card-Reader-Thunderbolt/dp/B011D8ASOU
