As someone with the exact model same, I can say that there is definitely an M.2 Slot besides the RAM Compartment. I stuck a 128GB NVME M.2 SSD there in that slot(for the lack of a 256GB SSD on sale) Your picture even shows it. No, You do not need to remove the battery or HDD to put the new RAM sticks or the NVME M.2 SSD.…

Yes. It has an NVME M.2 Slot besides the RAM compartment

As brummyfan2 said It seems that your 4GB RAM is an onboard memory. Just match the speed which is 2400 MHz and chose any 16GB DDR4 19200. Also I suggest buying in your known local computer parts shop or your nearest Acer Service Center if this is still under warranty. 

Did you use CPU-Z? This is from CPU-Z app. Also was it run from Admin?. It can tell the brand, bandwith & ranks while Task Manager can tell you at what speed your RAM is being used. For example, you have 4GB DDR4 2600 MHz RAM & task manager says Speed: 2400 MHz. This means that the maximum speed supported by your…

Also I forgot to tell you that it also depends on the ranks if your existing RAM(probably a 4GB Adata) is single or dual. Those Corsair Vengeance RAM have ranks as dual and are more expensive than most other brands Tbh 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance is a better setup than putting a 4GB+16GB =20GB but it would be wasted and…

Yes since DDR means Double Data Rate if you have a 2400 Mhz DDR4 RAM then it would read as (1200Mhz) if you have a 2133 Mhz DDR4 RAM it would read as (1066.5Mhz)

You need to know the clock speed of the 4GB DDR4 RAM you have using CPU-Z & match it with your new RAM Like this You can see from the Image that I have a Transcend 8GB DDR4 2400 Mhz RAM This means that I need any brand that's a DDR4 2400 Mhz RAM

Well yes the maximum 32GB RAM is basically 2x16GB DDR4 Dual Channel Configuration since you have max of 2 slots. 1-16GB DDR4 paired with the 1-4GB DDR4 you get a 20GB DDR4 RAM total clocked at max of 2133.

After going to the service center to install a 128gb NVME M.2 SSD on the M.2 slot and an additional 8GB DDR4 RAM, everything is fine now. The overheating was probably due to the very slow HDD & the 4GB RAM module was almost using full capacity from startup. The new NVME M.2 has made opening almost every program installed…

Ok thanks so I just hope this could be resolved when I buy a new additional RAM at the service center. The battery area doesn't heat up though surprisingly but it's pretty small for the specs of my laptop that it only takes 2hrs to drain.

I suggest you download the Intel driver from the support page of your product. So everytime Windows update and it makes your screen flicker you can just install back the Intel Driver that worked for you. Do not leave your laptop without a proper Intel Driver cause that would cause the built-in monitor to not turn on…

The first one to heat up is the part near the vent & the area where the intel and nvidia stickers are. Then the touchpad follows then the area with the aspire sticker follows. I think the HDD is directly below the middle of the touchpad and the stickers. I'm now using an old laptop cooling pad just to make it less hotter

I mean the outside temp of the laptop reaches 37 Celsius. When I open any gaming app it could reach above 40 in a matter of seconds. After half an hour of gaming it's now very hot. I checked with CPUID. This is what I got at startup.

Wait, you can add as much 1TB SSD in the m.2 slot + the existing 1TB HDD for this model?!
