Can I replace the 1T HDD in my Acer S24 with an SSD and how is it done with no access panel apparent?

Is the drive in the base or in the monitor? I'm guessing in the base.
Are you sure there is no access panel?

What does your user manual say?

There don't appear to be any teardown instructions on the web for this model. Here is what Tom's said in their review:

Everything is in the base, and a few screws (probably on the bottom) should give you access to the insides. I would imagine they are using a 2.5" hard drive, so an SSD should swap right in.

The HDD is in a standard SATA, 2.5" case. Problem 1 is how to open the base to get at the HDD without chipping, scratching or otherwise marking the exterior.
