I bought an E5-575-33BM laptop, along with a 525GB Crucial m.2 SSD that I had hoped to install. The SSD could serve as a storage drive, but not as the boot drive. So I returned it, and ordered a 500GB Samsung EVO 850 m.2 SSD. Today, Acer indicated the following: "256GB is the largest that was tested/qualified by Acer for this model. You might also post your question on the Acer Community . . ."
So, let me ask: Has anyone tried to add a 500GB Samsung EVO 850 m.2 SSD to a E5-575-33BM laptop, as a system drive? For that matter, has anyone attempted (successfully or not) to install any other manufacturer's 500GB (+/-) m.2 SSD in this laptop as a system drive?
I'd be grateful for any information. However, to be honest, installing RAM and SSD's, and fiddling with BIOS boot-up sequences, is probably as far as I can go.
