Hi Sir I have the same laptop. Will you suggest me which 1 TB SSD should i buy ? As it is already coming with 512 GB SSD and I'm bit confused which SSD should i buy. Please suggest ? Thank you. 🙂
Hey there good Sir :) the Crucial P5 1TB is a good choice, if you want a really fast SSD on a budget. If speed isn't that important to you, you can get a slighltly slower, but even cheaper alternative with the WD Blue SN550 1TB. Unless you're moving huge chunks of data all the time - you shouldn't worry too much about SSD-Speed though. Loading times in games and programs should be nearly identical with both suggested models.
hi, how can I change thermal paste? what shall be the procedure for removing the screws of the heat pipe and which shall be the best thermal paste(for gamming) I can buy?
I had a laptop that had thermal pads on the bottom of the ram chips so I'm assuming that the Acer aspire 7 does too and if it doesn't can I put a thermal pad there and will it mess up anything or improve anything.
if upgrade ram's & SSD (but you don't upgrade it) battery needs to be disconnected!!!! if this is not done, you can take the laptop to a service center to replace the chipset....

Hello, acer friends! Tell me please, am I understand it right, that this model hasn't option to add any ssd m.2 or sata III? And the only way to upgrade memory drive is replace stock m.2 ssd to some bigger. ssd m.2? P.S. (playing with wife module is not possible for me)

Hello. Can i ask what specific model of acer aspire 7 is in the video? I have an Acer Aspire 7 A-715-42G-R5C5 and I am not so sure if it supports ssd expansion via replacement. You're answer would greatly help me with this. Thank you.
I am selling my aspire 7 ryzen 5500u gtx 1650, bought that for office work, but now i dont need it after using it for hardly 15 days. Since i am planning to buy xps 17.
The stick you added likely has a different timing than the existing stick, even if it is from the same manufacturer with the same clock speed. In order for the motherboard to run both sticks at the same timing, sometimes it has to drop the frequency for one of the RAM sticks. When upgrading RAM, it is recommended to buy a pair of identical sticks from the same batch from the same manufacturer to avoid getting newer modules with different timings.
Hey, there is no difference, but DDR4 is the common name, while the technical term would be something like PC4-2666-SDRAM. Just make sure to buy SO-DIMM modules.
Hello, this is a silly question? But, how much expansion of SSD can be done in this? And is there any option of adding another ssd, keeping the provided one inside? If not, can the ssd that is replaced not be used anyhow, (since it already is loaded with so much data)?
Sadly it has only one SSD slot so you have to swap the SSD with another one, and laptops can take upto 2TB of SSD's, its not written anywhere but it is the limit. And if you have any data stored on the loaded SSD you better move that into some HDD then again move it onto the new SSD if you will, but I'll suggest you buy a External Hard Drive which is quite helpful and pocket friendly
I have aspire 7 i5 9th gen. 512gb ssd. Can i keep the provided ssd nd add 1tb ssd along its side like Ram,or this laptop doesn't has 2nd slot for new ssd?
As long as the PC is powered off, you don't need to do anything else. There's no risk of powering the laptop if it is closed anyway. Removing a drive when a PC is powered on will simply "remove the access to Windows", and you'd have to power off the device, replug the drive correctly and restart the computer, there shouldn't be any specific issue beside loss of unsaved work, unfinished task etc.

Hi, maybe im a little late,cooling on this laptop is very bad, you play for like hour and then your game starts randomly laging and going from 60 to 3 fps - the sollution for this is to buy cooling pad which i bought. And yea, you can upgrade to win11 easily

I know it runs windows 11 easily but it so bugged that it causes constant bosd errors .The nvidia card drivers has a issue with this specific device so in my case reinstalled windows 10. Learned it the hard way
Yes. Mine came with 2x 4GB sticks. I took one out and replaced it with a 16GB stick giving me 20GB in total. Before anyone says you should use matched pairs, I can confirm you don't need matched pairs and never have. Your RAM configuration will now be 8GB of dual channel memory and 12 GB of single channel memory. Neither the motherboard or Windows cares, everything will work fine. At some point when I have more money I'll replace the other 4GB with another 16GB stick. HTH.
