    Hello all,

    Im sure you guys already know the spexs of my laptop but it has 12gb of ram and 128gb ssd + 1tb hdd.

    Im looking forward to upgrade those components(Possibly a little higher ram and ssd drive) but Im a complete dummy about these stuff. Is it a hard process? Do I have to replace my current drives or will there be empty slots for me to plug my new components easily?

    It's easy, open the back cover and then install the upgrade parts.
    For SSD, there are two slots open for another two SSDs.
    Best to create recovery discs, then proceed with OS installation afterwards, if you want to use RAID feature then you may need to reload the OS from scratch.

    I will most likely send it to a computer technician but I dont wanna end up buying the wrong thing. Do I have to buy mSata SSD and what type of RAM do I buy?
