    Good afternoon Chork005 !

    This model supports a maximum of 12GB of RAM (4GB being integrated into the motherboard and a single slot for expansion up to 8GB) So-DIMM DDR4 2133Mhz

    httpsusv-cdnnet6029997uploadseditorcj8wons86qbjp9jpg

    SSD has M.2 2280 slot for standard Sata 3 or PCIe NVMe Gen3x2
    Standard NVMe capacities up to 256Gb are not a problem.
    Already in the standard Sata 3 up to 1 Tb also are fully compatible.

    Hi,
    You have two options, you can either replace the HDD with a 2.5" 1TB SSD or install a 256GB M.2 SATA SSD, transfer the OS to it and use the HDD for storage, you need to tell us which one you prefer.
    As for the memory upgrade, you have 4GB on-board RAM and a slot for upgrade, you can install another 4GB, 8GB or 16GB.
