Step 2

Using an opening tool, pry open the back panel, starting at the silver screen hinges.
You may need to apply more force than usual. If you don’t find any success at the hinges, you can try to start at another area that looks easier to open.
You can also use some plastic opening picks to help hold parts of the panel open while you work on other sides.

Awesome. Thanks for the tips here. Do you have any recommendations on what SSD may go with Acer Spin 3 SP315-51-757C ? I am a little clue less here since i am new to this, and any feedback here would help. Thanks.

I just replaced my HDD with a 1TB Crucial MX500 SSD. It was easy to clone the drive and simple to install. My computer went from almost unusable to better than new, I highly recommend it.
