I have an Acer aspire ES1-432 C65J and I want to upgrade the RAM because it's slowing down even when two tabs are open on Google chrome and can I upgrade the memory to to 1 TB or more?

    By Acer's SG specs of your ES1-432, your laptop has 1x slot removable RAM and has 2GB of DDR3-1600MHz onboard memory, you should run DDR3L-1600MHz as removable RAM as that is the specs of your onboard RAM. Also, this laptop either came with NO onboard RAM or with 2GB onboard RAM. Your laptop supports maximum memory size of up to 8 GB when no on-board system memory, but you have 2GB onboard so your laptop supports really and in theory 6GB but seeing that you can't get 6GB modules you can only put 1x 4GB DDR3l-160Mhz module to have a total of 6GB. Best is do a "Crucial System Scanner" on your system as that will tell you the modern specs of what type max memory is best and compatible RAM suitable for your laptops as you might be able to put an 8GB module with the current spec DDR3 type memory?

    2 TB would be within the range for storage with an HDD or SSD. Memory can rarely ever be above 64 GB on most laptops, usually no more than 32. You currently have 2 GB of memory. It's hard to find the maximum memory for this model, but most can support at least 4 GB.

    For upgrading storage capacity, if you are using UEFI boot mode and GPT partitioned disks, it can be any capacity. If you are using Legacy boot mode and MBR partitioned disks, 2 TB is the maximum capacity.

    How can I know which storage I'm using is it in the laptop settings or I need an application for it?

    To find out the capacity and type of drive you have, go to Search > System Info > Components > Storage > Drives and it will give you the specs of your hard drive. With putting more than 2TB drives which I presume you want to put a 2.5" drive as M.2 drives of more than 2TB capacity like 4TB are very expensive, just a thought, as in windows format rules the bigger MBR/Legacy formatted drive is 2TB as windows won't recognise the drive if its bigger, with 2TB and higher capacities drives you need to format the drive in GUID (GPT) format for it to be recognised, those are the formatting rules of windows, just a bit of theory for you  =)
