    You have a single M-key m.2 socket which means you should be able to install either an NVME card or a SATA3 card up to 2TB. The NVME card may be about twice as fast as a SATA3 card in your particular laptop

    You have PCIe v3 bus with a single M-key m.2 socket. Both an  m.2 NVME card or an m.2 SATA3 card should physically fit and work fine in your machine.

    Ayaan,

    You can upgrade the memory with a maximum of 16GB DDR4 2400/2133MHz module, you already have 4GB onboard memory and a slot for upgrade, as for the SSD, you can install a M. 2 NVMe SSD up to recommended maximum size of 256GB but few users have installed 512GB and 1TB as well in this model.

    Good luck if you decide to add an m.2 SSD. I like the Western Digital Blue series of SSDs.
