Acer Predator desktops Supports up to 64GB DDR5 RAM and 1TB+ NVMe SSD storage

To locate the RAM slots on the motherboard, look near the CPU. If you're replacing RAM, unlock the clips on both sides of the existing RAM stick and gently pull it out. If you're adding RAM, insert the new stick into the empty slot at a 30-degree angle, then push it down until it clicks into place. For optimal performance, install RAM sticks in matching color slots to enable dual-channel mode.

To upgrade your storage, follow the appropriate steps for the type of drive you're installing. For M.2 NVMe SSD (the fastest upgrade), locate the M.2 slot on your motherboard. If you're replacing an existing SSD, unscrew the retaining screw. Insert the new M.2 SSD at a 30-degree angle into the slot, secure it with the screw, and ensure it sits flat. Some models may have two M.2 slots, so use the empty one if available. For 2.5" SATA SSD (more storage), find the 2.5" drive bay inside your case, mount the SSD using screws or a tray (some cases offer tool-free mounting), then connect the SATA data and power cables to the motherboard and PSU. For 3.5" HDD (mass storage), locate the HDD cage inside your case, secure the HDD with screws or slide it into a tool-free mount, and connect the SATA data and power cables from the motherboard and PSU.
