I want to upgrade the hard drive on my computer to get more storage space. It is always Maxed out on storage space. What's the largest hard drive I can upgrade to.

[Edited the thread to add model number to the title]

    You can also install a HDD/SSD up to 500 GB, you need to remove all the screws at the back, release the tabs with a plastic prying tool( or an old credit card) lift off the back cover, disconnect the battery and install the HDD/SSD.

    And, of course, there isn't a limit of 500GB for that drive, you can put whatever size you can afford in there. Acer tested at the time with 500GB and 1TB drives, but only shipped a version with 500GB. The software limit in Windows is much, much larger than those, and the hardware limit for a SATA port is also much larger than anything that can be purchased. I believe your C2W3 SKU has only a 32GB eMMC drive, soldered to the motherboard, so any drive you add will be a huge improvement in storage.
