Introduzione
Use this guide to replace the SSD on your Acer Aspire A515-51G.
Before you perform this repair, if at all possible, back up your existing SSD. If you are replacing the SSD where your operating system is installed, familiarize yourself with a disk cloning utility so you’ll be ready to migrate your data to the new SSD.
Be sure to completely power off and unplug your laptop. Make sure the laptop is not in standby, sleep, or hibernation mode.

WARNING, WARNING WILL ROBINSON!!
Before you remove the lower case, you MUST remove the HDD as it is attached to the lower case. If you pull the lower case up with HDD still attached you will rip the HDD cable off the motherboard. So ...
Unscrew the HDD hatch.
Pull HDD hatch on lower right off carefully.
Unscrew the four black screws holding the HDD assembly to lower case.
Carefully pull the HDD cable off the HDD (careful here, you could rip cable off motherboard).
Carefully pry HDD assembly upwards (with spunger) and remove HDD.
Now proceed with rest of remining steps.
Would someone be able to attach photos to these steps. I don't have the ability to do so, easily.
I used exactly these instructions today to replace the M.2 SSD. Everything worked perfectly. Many thanks for the instructions.
Regarding
@davoesq note - in step 4 of the instructions it is described that the second hard disk, which you can reach directly, must be removed. Care must of course be taken when removing the connector.
