Upgradable Component in Acer Swift 3 SF314-54G

Hi guys, does anyone know Upgradable Component in Acer Swift 3 Series?

Here my Device Spec:

Swift SF314-54G
Processor : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz 1.80
Instaled RAM : 4.00 GB (3.89 GB usable) 1 of 2 usable
System type : 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
HDD 932 GB
Display : Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620
Render : NVIDIA GeForce MX 150

I want to start making short video, so i need my device to strong enough to launch editing video's apps, such Adobe Premierre, Adobe After Effect and so on,

Is it possible to only upgrade RAM up to 16 GB? is there a recommendation for a specific type of RAM? And what is the estimated budget?

How about upgrading HDD to SSD? is it necessary? and most importantly, can it be done on this acer swift 3?

And how about the VGA? is Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 enough for video editing specifications? can it be upgraded in this acer swift 3?

//Edited the content to add model name.

There are a lot of different models of the SF314-54G. Yours have the 8th gen CPU, so it supports a mix of DDR4 or LPDDR3 memory, the 4GB you have now is likely LPDDR3 and soldered to the motherboard, you can put in a 4GB or 8GB in the SO-DIMM slot, giving you a total of 8GB or 12GB. There is a chance that dropping a 16GB stick in will work, giving you 20GB, but it's not officially supported so see if anyone else has done that before spending on the stick.

It looks like you have a 1TB HDD installed, you may or may not also have a 16GB Intel Optane drive for caching the HDD access. If you have the Optane you will have to remove that in order to put in a fast SSD, but while installing the SSD you will clone the HDD to it, meaning that everything will run at the faster speeds, so caching the HDD is less necessary. I would personally do the SSD upgrade before anything else.

For the GPU, you already have an NVIDIA GeForce MX150 GPU, so you actually have two GPUs available. That's pretty much all you can do there, laptops don't really have much graphics expansion available
