Ive had this laptop for a while, recently found it again and decided I wanted to use it for uni. Its quite slow as it has 4gbs of ram and only 120gbs of storage, am I able to upgrade these parts in my laptop?

Ive spent countless of hours trying to research but I cant find anything for my specific model, Im also not too confident in this type of stuff.

    There is 1 removable RAM slot and 4GB is soldered on the motherboard, you can install up to 16GB to a maximum of 20 GB max. total memory DDR4-2666 • CL=19 • NON-ECC • SODIMM • 260-pin • 1.2V • 1Rx8 • PC4-21300. Best results are obtained with 2x4GB (8GB total RAM) like this:
    Acer Spin 3 SP314-53N | Memory RAM & SSD Upgrades | Crucial UK Check what SODIMM is soldered with this command: wmic memorychip list full, note the part number and buy exactly the same 4GB module that will run in Dual Channel Mode at 2667 MHz.
    There is 1 M.2 PCIe 3x4 2280 slot for a Gen3 SSD like the Samsung 970 Evo Plus up to 2TB, there is a possibility to install a 2.5" Sata-3 SSD but you will have to find a compatible Sata-3 cable and caddy for the available space on the internet which I have not been able to find.
