Q: QuestionI have a Shop now Acer Aspire 15.6" HD Laptop, Intel Core i5-7200U, 6GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 Home - Black - A315-51-51SL can I upgrade this possibly into a gaming computer just wonder.

Asked 6 years ago by Louisprime.

• A:Answer Thanks for your question. It would depend on what kind of games you play. The RAM may be able to be upgraded and the HDD possibly replaced with an SSD. However, the described unit does not appear to have a dedicated graphics card which will limit the level of gaming the computer can handle efficiently.
