    Hi,
    Yes, there's a slot for M.2 SATA SSD.

    You have a HDD bay which you can access by opening the door and a M.2 slot which can be accessed by opening the back cover.

    You are welcome :)
    Perhaps they didn't want you to open the back cover and void the warranty, in some regions they put a warranty warning sticker on the screws to stop consumers opening the back cover, it's advisable to check with Acer Support centre in your region to find out whether opening the back cover voids the warranty.

    Hi,
    That's about general disassembly, I have posted that picture to show the position of M.2 slot, the arrows and the circles are about dismantling the speakers which you don't need to worry about. Motherboard on the left is same as the one on the right, only difference is that most of the parts are removed from it, M.2 SSD is shown in yellow rectangle.
