Hi
I have recently purchased a 512 SSD variant of Lenovo y540 from amazon sale. I have a spare 1tb HDD with me, so if I install HDD in the laptop myself will it void warranty or I have to visit Lenovo service center for the same.

Thank You

Yes,warranty will be void.Always get such upgrades done at authorized service centres unless it is something very basic which does not involve opening more than 1-2 screws(e.g.in many laptops ram can be upgraded by simply opening a small panel at bottom & inserting the ram in empty slot.Of course you can't even do this for acer laptops as acer put stickers everywhere so even opening a screw is impossible without voiding warranty).
