Hy guys, 
I discovered in my acer travelmate 7730 which still plays my games, there are 2 slots for wifi adapters, but one is free and my hdd is getting slow, is it possible to install a 
M.2 or nvme (dont know of theyre the same)
In to one of those slots? I saw that a sata ssd has 500mb/s and a m.2 has 4gb/s so i woul like to install that one to get best performance. Can someone help me please? 128mb should be enoigh cause i have 2 sata slots.

    No, neither of those connectors are suitable for anything else. They hold the WiFi and a modem.

    Okay, thanks for your answer! Altough its maybe not the answer i wanted.

    Thanks so much, and is the travelmate 7730 capable of putting 8 gb ram or another cpu in it? Then i dont need to buy my new pc so quick, then i can wait and get more money for a better acer.

    Also, why are there 2 network slots then?

    Nope, maximum memory is 4GB using two 2GB sticks. CPU compatibility is determined by which chipset you have installed, the PM45 or GM45. Between the 4730 models and the 7730 models there were a *lot* of combinations. The two slots are for the WiFi and a modem.

    It looks like the generic driver from NVIDIA has support for DirectX 11, give that a try.

    Thank you for your help, but maybe il tell more information because i already tried somethong similar,

    I have windows 7 x64 but planning to upgrde to 10,

    Have nvidia geforce 9600m gt but thats not the problem.

    Now i want to play valorant, and installs al fine without any problems, but when i launch the game this pops up:
    'DX11 feature level 10.0 is required to run the engine'

    I know my gpu is capabable running it cuz it has 4gb vram total i saw, but i just dont know how to fix the error cuz i already have dx11 installed on win7 by default i checked it, thanks for your help! (I can run dx10 games smoothly at high framerate if that helps)

    Have a nice day, travelmate 7730 user!

    What version of the NVIDIA driver do you actually have installed?

    Talk to the game developers to see if they have any idea why.
