Hi,
Yes, you can replace the original M.2 SSD with a 1TB or a 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD, like Samsung 970 EVO Plus, I have used it on a similar model (F5-573) and performed well.

Help upgrading Acer Aspire E5-576G NVMe SSD

I have an Acer Aspire E5-576G laptop that I got back in like 2016-17, and the SSD storage has gotten rather full (256GB NVMe) . I'm a bit stumped on how to find exactly what NVMe SSDs are compatible with my laptops motherboard and the limit of available SSD memory size that it supports. Could anyone help me figure this out or point me in the direction I could figure this out?
Ideally, I want as fast (as in write speeds) as an NVme (I don't want SATA) SSD my motherboard will support with 1TB or 2TB storage with something like SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus SSD 1TB NVMe M.2 Internal Solid State Hard Drive but I just don't know if my motherboard only supports 500GB or 1TB or 2TB of storage and I don't know if my motherboard only supports write speeds of like 3,500MB/s or something higher like 5,000MB/s or even 7,400MB/s. Would love any answer to this.
My motherboard name and vendor that I can find is KBL "Ironman_SK"
I want to take out the default NVMe SSD that came with my laptop out and replace it with something higher and faster if possible. I am NOT looking for any SATA 2.5in SSDs.
Appreciate any help into this matter, thank you.
I want to replace the SSD labeled "F", I do not care for any 2.5in SATA SSDs.

Thanks for the super quick replay! I'll go ahead and order the Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB model and look forward to using it in time by the holidays. Thanks again for the help and assurance, hope you have a wonderful holiday season! 😀

@brummyfan2 btw, I meant to ask, do you also know if my laptop motherboard (KBL "Ironman_SK") supports 16GB or up to 32GB of RAM? I currently have 16GB installed, but was hoping I might be able to increase it, but I think maybe my motherboard maxes out at 16GB? Thanks for any extra advice and happy holidays btw, cheers.

Hi,
Yes, you can increase memory up to 32GB (2x16GB), if you have 1x16GB setup, buy another 16GB stick with same specs as the original module, if you have 2x8GB setup, you need to buy 2x16GB modules and install, make sure that you get modules with JEDEC profile and don't buy modules with XMP profile, you too have happy holidays.
