Does removing stickers laptop void warranty Acer

This isn't a request for buying advice but there doesn't seem to be a more appropriate section, so here goes:

I bought an Acer laptop online for someone in my family and it arrived a few days ago. I want to add more RAM to the built-in 4GB but don't want to break the warranty seal. I was wondering if it would still void the warranty if I have the additional RAM installed at an authorised Acer service center.

I sent an email asking about this to their contact address two days ago but haven't received any reply. I tried calling their local service center but they don't answer. Can you please provide some enlightenment?

Lately, most laptops are built to have accessible HDD/SSD and RAM slots which allows user upgrades.
First check service manual or post the laptop model here.
In case there is no SEAL /Sticker covering any screws, go ahead and upgrade it yourself.
Remove the RAM in case you have to go to the service center someday.
If there is some screw under some warranty sticker, then you will have to go to service center to get it upgraded.
in that case don't forget to get an acknowledgement from them that they have upgraded the RAM and your warranty stands.

Thanks for your input. That's exactly what I've decided to do but haven't got around to it yet. I don't like cheating but it's justifiable in some cases. I have a soft spot for Acer because they were the first company to introduce affordable laptops some 15 years ago (same thing for Xiaomi with phones). But Acer seems to be poorly organised, at least in India. Their website is a mess and online sellers often provide more details about their products than the company itself.

My previous experience with their RMA was pretty sub par. They took 3 months to offer a credit note for a laptop they couldn't fix. Even the replacements they provided were duds. But still the service center person was a good being and helped me with the CN eventually with which I got another Acer laptop (that one was with me for 7 years until I sold it to a colleague).

Anyway, I don't feel that the sticker should be there in the first place. You should be able to make these minor upgrades without having to pay "installation charges".
