I recently bought a Vanquish 5 and it came with a 240 GB SSD. I might need an upgrade soon, how does the upgrading process work?

Well, depends on your needs.

Do you just need mass storage? If so, I'd just buy a 1TB or 2TB drive for the cheap. If you want more SSD storage. You can find plenty of 480-512GB SSD's for pretty damn cheap just to house games and what not on.

Put SSD in drive tray. Plug in sata power. Plug in SATA cable to drive then connect to mobo next to where the other SSD is connect.

Should be good. If it doesn't show up. You might just need to format the drive. Easier than it sounds. Just look up youtube videos on how to format new drives use Disk Management in Windows.

The entire process is easy as balls.

Unless by upgrading process you're talking about something else. If so, please clarify.

My computer came with the one 240GB SSD.  I bought a second one later and as Meller said, just plugged it in and it was instantly available to me.
