The usual straightforward explanation and work in real time. This makes the website superior.

Hi, I have an SSD drive to upgrade my Acer Aspire 3 but when opening it up it doesn't have the connector or caddy to hold the 2.5" SSD. There is space for the SSD but no connector - Is it possible to purchase one and if so, where does it connect to?? I have photos of the inside as well
I have the Aspire 3 A315-56-502L and it seems to be exactly identical to this with the one unfortunate difference I found is that it doesn't come with the 2.5" caddy or sata cable inside it
thank you for the detailed guide. i was very worried and unsure what to expect when i open up the laptop. after watching yr video, i was confident enuf to perform the upgrades by getting the right parts. the max ram mine supported was 12gb. so i just got a 8gb crucial 2666 ddr4 ram. so the hdd, my stock was on toshiba mechanical. i changed to crucial ssd. thanks lot!
Just got a new Acer Aspire 3 A315-56-5048 and it does NOT have the HDD caddy and cable. Apparently product policy is getting cheaper too like with other manufacturers.
Irrelevant question, but I have a old one, another Spin 3 (2016. MdNo.: N16P9) and it somehow had a nasty Battery Charger case where it at first kept shorting out but I bought a similar sized replacement charger to try to save it, yet it went bad after 3 years (tbh, I think I owned it longer than that). It won't power up after a sad summer night on 2019 it just died, so here's what I'm wondering: Option-A: How can I revive this thing? It never will power up anymore, even if I charged it, and I did replace the battery but no deal... Option-B: Got pissed off. I feel better off stripping its drives and adding them to the new iBuyPower TraceMesh MK7 Gaming Desktop as storage since it was dead for far too long with data trapped. I already took it apart and looked at its innards and spotted its HDD along with that RAM stick(?) but wondering how to find its SSD and if it's a no-risk move to simply strip it away and add its HDD as extra storage for my new Desktop? (it's one OS-Level lower than the newer desktop, but someone says I can do it no problems anyway.)
I have an acer Aspire A315-54 with one slot of ram in the motherboard with 8GB DDR4 in the support website described that the maximum of ram can use is 12GB but when I plugged an 16GB ram stick it worked fine without any lags or problems.
Dumb question: If I have the Aspire 3 (store bought) with Windows 11 already, and I just wanted to add extra ram and ssd would I need to reinstall Windows 11 to make the computer work?
I want to add some ram so I can run a newer video game. Will the ram alone be enough to run it? It fits on my hard drive just trouble running the program with the stock ram
I have the same style laptop. I want to increase my SSD. However, I dont understand what that caddy thing is? If i just want to upgrade my 256 SSD, I dont have to replace the caddy right? I can just swap out mine with "Crucial P5 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD Gen 3 x4" without touching the caddy area Also , how many ram slots are in this model? I have 12gb for my laptop but unsure if its dual channel or not
Hi I have a question so I have a newer acer aspire 3 and it is kind of different inside. It doesn't have the ssd tray and the sata cable. Can you tell me where I can find a sata cable. And thanks for the vid it was helpful.
Late response but no, the GPU is really mediocre and combine it with the 8gb of ram and even CSGO runs at 40fps in low full hd. I'll soon try it with 16gb tho.
Had a problem with my m2 SSD I bought. The model I bought did not include any m2 ssd, but it has a slot for it. So I bought one and attached it. It is not detected by Acer, even in bios. the slot shows empty. With Windows setup, it only detects the current hard drive i have (no ssd). The SSD is functioning as used an m2 sata to usb connector and it is detected in Windows. Tried to test if it is and it is. Just when I use it internally, it doesn't detect. Is there something I missed?
On laptops with multiple drive options, I personally if doing a clean install would only use the one drive and wait to install the second drive. This way, I wouldn't confuse myself as to which drive is which on the "custom installation" screen of the Windows 10 installer when identifying my drives, especially if each drive is the same capacity. After the clean-install and I run the updates, then I'll install the next drive and add it in via Disk Management.
Just did this to my mine. When powering up, the screen pops up with, No bootable Device. Dod the start up with F2, Enabled the F12 Boot Menu, restarted, same deal. What do I do?
Hello and thanks for this video. I have an aspire 3 a315-53-389v model. Can i upgrade with wifi ac to ax for this computer? And can you make a video on how to clone from HDD to SDD? My computer is using HDD and i want to convert to M2 without losing my data. Hope to hear from you soon.
With the Acer Aspire 3 PCs, the caddy and cable numbers depend on which version you have. The caddy shown in the video would not fit in my A315-58-M575 because the screw tabs are in different positions, Finding the correct matching caddy has proven difficult - Acer does not have the kits in stock.
If you are still looking at this, do you know where I can get a caddy and the ribbon cable? I have an Acer314-35 and it has the extra bay for the ssd but there is no caddy or ribbon cable
I have the smeproblem with an Acer 315-58- no caddy or cable. I checked with Acer, but they no longer have those parts, and referred me to one of their partners - who also don't seem to list them. Any ideas?

When I boot my computer, which is the same model of the video, I can't access the SETUP anymore, even pressing the f2 key, it just goes to a loop in the acer screen, if I don't press this key, it goes to a screen "boot option restored" where I have "reset system" and "continue boot", the first one reboot the computer and goes to the this same point, and the other one goes to screen it "operating system not found", I don't know what to do anymore, a friend of mine says that maybe resetting the setup removing the battery inside the notebook can resolve the problem of the setup doesn't show. Do you have any idea of what should I do?
make a clean windows install from usb maybe, check the cr32 round battery, sometimes it fails, check if the RAM is correctly inserted, disconnect the internal battery and reconnect it.
hi. maybe it was better to partition the MVMe drive because usually no one puts 1T on windows drive and also its gonna be a problem to backup files when u need to install a windows again!

Good day Sir!, I have a question, I'm also planning on upgrading SSD and RAM, Can I put 8gb 3200mhz in Acer Aspire 3 but the onboard RAM has only 2133 mhz clockspeed? thank you very much
hei there, would like to upgrade my machine before 2021. Model is older, Acer A315-51-331E and has Core i3 inside. My intuition is that by replacing Ram (currently 4GB) with the most I can and replacing HDD (1TB) with SSD 500 gb at least would improve the laptop speed considerably. In case I go with it, what should I know before proceeding? Have little tech knolwedge and would like to basically transfer all content to the new SSD. Thanks for any answer!!
Simply increasing the memory to 8Gb you will see a performance increase with Windows 10 or 11. When Windows runs out of RAM it writes to the hard disk which slows the computer down significantly and kills SSD drives rapidly.
You can install ram without disconnecting battery, but be very very careful. Dont touch anything. Protect yourself from static electricity as well. That's all you need to do.
Hi! I replaced the ram and the computer boots up great, however, the battery no longer works. I've disconnected and reconnected it but it still doesn't run on just battery power. The computer doesn't seem to recognize the battery. Any advice?
