I found a couple other posts on the Acer community from similar (but not exact) models here and here.This one addresses 'NVMe' compatibility, but I don't understand what that is, or whether to buy that or not. I found an Acer community post where another person with the same exact model as me asked about m.2 compatibility.I found this Asus guide from 2014, which helped me understand that there are different types of m.2 drives.That's great news, but I also don't know anything about the m.2 form factor, so I'm unsure which type to get. In doing some research on this laptop model, it looks like the HDD is in one spot, and there is another spot for an SSD in m.2 2280 form factor. I thought it would be ideal to add an SSD as a boot/apps drive, keeping the current HDD for file storage only (so installing Windows on the new SSD this time). A solution I want to try is a fresh installation of Windows 10. I've troubleshooted that before, but the issue persists. It is incredibly slow to start up, and often runs at or near 100% disk usage.

I need some assistance, please! I have a 2016 Acer Spin 3 (sp315-51-757c), and it currently has only a conventional 1TB HDD. r/windows10 Please read the sidebar, and use this form when asking for advice :D Please do not ask for recommendations in mod-mail.
