Can I upgrade to a bigger SSD?

Hello, so this isn’t the device I have but I needed to choose one which wasn’t listed.

I have a ‘ASUS E203NA’ and it has an SSD with 28GB of free storage. You can clearly see where is the problem here. Since it has Windows installed, 20GB is already consumed by the OS leaving me with practically nothing.

I’m wondering if it can be upgraded with a bigger SSD and if it can be, could somebody please link me a compatible SSD?

Thanks!!

the shouldnt be any real problems with doing this. youll just either need to clone the new drive and swap it out OR reinstall windows on the new drive and do a fresh install.

So a 2,5" SSD should just be fine? Since it's a really, really small laptop.

The best thing to do is to take off the bottom cover and take a look.

The SATA connector and the space for an SSD drive will be fairly obvious.

Is yours the “ASUS VIVOBook E12 E203NA” model? This is really important as there are so many model variations. For different price points or countries, I guess.

Does yours look like this? If it does it seems to be upgradable :

Or here is another video of inside. This one is not upgradable:

It doesn't have that space on the back of it. So I'm guessing I rather don't buy a SSD unnecessarily

Hi @naigen

Too bad. That is why research before buying is such a good idea.
