Upgrading my laptop with a SSD possible?

[Silvercrest]

Hello everyone,

I'm a student and currently my laptop is taking up a lot of time when opening a simple word document. I have a 4 years old laptop and I am thinking of upgrading it with a SSD. I made a few pictures and I was curious if my laptop is compatible for a SSD upgrade.

Also I opened my laptop and looked around a bit. I noticed a big gap in the left upper corner of the picture which has M2.5*6L written in it multiple times. Now I am wondering what that exactly is.

My laptop type is:

Acer Aspire 7750
Intel Core I5 2450M
6GB DDR3 memory
500GB HDD
Intel HD graphics 3000

Thank you in advance for reading this post!

Yes, there are cases for this.

Yes, that is possible, but you should be able to open the SSD and then remove the circuit board and place it in the laptop.
You may need to remove the ribs that are in the cover of your laptop, otherwise it may break the circuit board.
