Seeking Upgrades - RAM, HDD to SSD and Windows 10 to 11 for Acer One 14 Z1402-378D

Dear Acer Community,

I seek guidance regarding potential upgrades for my Acer One 14 Z1402-378D laptop. Specifically, I wish to:

Increase the RAM to 8 GB: The laptop currently has 4 GB of DDR3L RAM. According to available information, it supports a maximum of 8 GB. Could you confirm this and recommend compatible 8 GB RAM modules?

Replace the existing 500 GB HDD with an SSD: I aim to enhance performance by installing a 2.5-inch SATA III SSD. Is this feasible, and are there specific SSD models you would suggest for optimal compatibility?

Upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11: Considering the laptop's "upgraded" specifications, is it capable of running Windows 11 efficiently? Are there particular hardware requirements or compatibility issues I should be aware of before proceeding with this upgrade?

I appreciate your insights and recommendations on these matters.

Thank you.

Hi, the Acer One 14 Z1402-378D laptop was released in 2015 and is powered by an Intel Core i3 5th generation processor. The minimum requirement for installing Windows11 is an 8th generation CPU with a TPM2.0 chip that both this laptop does not have so impossible to upgrade to Windows11.

The best 2.5" Sata-3 SSD is the Samsung 870 Evo V-NAND up to 2TB and will work fine in this laptop

RAM Spec: Speed: 1333/1600 MHz Only one memory socket System DDR3L up to 8GB total.

Just some further information for you, as the below captions are the Acer service guide specs, increase the ram to 1x 8GB DDR3L-1600MHz type ram module and for the 2.5" SATA III drive, use the suggested and well proven 2.5" Samsung 870 EVO SSD (and use the Samsung Magician software to clone) that is the best and quickest SSD drive which will speed this laptop up for Win-10 OS considerably. Good luck and hope this helps you out further.
