Upgrade Acer Aspire E1-531G

[shael]

Hello! First, I have to say that my english is not verry good and i apologize for that.

I have some questions for my notebook. I have Aspire E1-531G wit this spec.
-Pentium intel 2020M 2.40ghz
-8GB RAM
-1TH HDD SATA
-Nvidia GF710 with 2GB

So, I want to upgrade my notebook. I want do change my processor with 3rd generation i7. I want to remove my 8GB of ram and replace with 16 GB of ram. And want to remove my DVD, on his place to put the SATA HDD and to add 256GB SSD.

So, can I make all of this? Can u help me with tips?

from what I can tell, the cpu is not soldered to the board, the 2020m is ivy-bridge based, so should be fine. going to 16gb of ram is 99.999999% possible even if their site says no, chances are yes.

my only concern is if the processor is soldered to the motherboard or not, from my research its not so you should be fine

from my research, the cpu is not soldered, so it`s okay.

I found this video for the Aspire E1-531 disassembly. By all means double and triple check what upgrades can work in your laptop and what bios is needed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jEZ_mljDeg

I have used a CD caddy to clone a SSD and install as system drive. It is an excellent upgrade.
