Can I change the ssd card on this to add more storage on it?
I have a Acer chromebook 14 and I was wondering if I can change the 32 ssd for a 256 ssd to install windows 10 as a virtual machine on it

If you can change the motherboard with one that has a different storage limit you can change the storage on it.But you need a USB recovery tool from the Chrome recovery utility on the web store since you wont have a os.

Most Chromebooks use eMMC, so not likely. If you see a M.2 slot it might work, but it will likely always require keeping the base 32GB of eMMC if it can be done, in addition to the add-on SSD.
More than likely, it will be fixed (non-upgradeable) eMMC. Outside of a few like the Acer C710 (mSATA) I’ve never seen a modular SSD in a Chromebook.
Yep. It’s soldered.

@mrfixer2011 Also eMMC.
Oh Really.Then how do you explain on Best Buy and Amazon that they have different storage limits on it.

What is the exact model? Have you opened it up to have a look? Does it have an SSD or M.2 drive installed? If it does. . .maybe.
