Thanks

Is there somewhere I can find out which ones are compatible with our model?
Sorry, I am pretty new to this.  Usually don't work on computer hardware that much, but figure I can find a good YouTube video once I find the right part.
If I replace the hard-drive, I will also need to re-install everything, right?

So you don't think that upgrading the RAM will help much?

Thanks for all your help so far.  I found on the Acer web site the compatible SSD, and they come in different sizes (120 GB, 240 GB, 480 GB).  How high should I go?  This will mostly be used with Office 365 for school work, and much of the files will be saved to the Cloud.  My goal is to upgrade, without spending too much money, if possible (otherwise, it would probably make sense just to buy a different laptop!).

Thanks

Thank you for the information.  It is very much appreciated!

So, I was getting ready to do this, and got conflicting recommendations from two other people.  Perhaps I should have provided more information.  Almost all the stuff my daughter does is on-line - they use Office 365 at school, and she accesses that on-line.  And the rest is mostly web browsing.

Two other people said that it would be better to upgrade the RAM than the Hard Drive, since she won't be accessing the hard drive as much if most of her activity is on-line.  They said the RAM would used more than the hard-drive when on-line.

Would you agree?
