Hi,

You can upgrade memory up to 32GB with 2x16GB DDR4 3200MHz SODIMM modules, but avoid any modules with XMP profiles, like Kingston HyperX or Corsair modules.

As for the M.2 SSD, you have two slots, you can install M.2 NVMe Gen 4 SSD up to 1TB, you can use a M.2 NVMe Gen 3 SSD or a M.2 SATA SSD 1TB in the second slot.
