Here is the Service Manual:
See page 59.
Not your exact model but very close and the videos will perhaps be more helpful.
Any 2.5 inch SATA form factor SSD will work and I recommend a Samsung Evo 850.
There is a link to all the available sizes on the page. I would recommend at least a 256 and 500s are pretty affordable these days.
Where do you live? Country only, please. I have heard that HP Service Centers will perform memory and SSD upgrades on these "closed" systems but I am not sure where all of them are located or what they would charge. You should be able to find a competent local computer shop to do it. It does put the warranty in jeopardy but the warranty will not be revoked if the job is done properly, without damage to the laptop.

The best way is to clone the old drive to the new. A lot of SSDs come with a migration kit, particularly Samsungs where you get a software disk and a SATA to USB cable to perform the clone. Get the largest SSD you can afford.
I personally use Acronis True Image Home 2014 for cloning but it is not free. The is free software such as clonezilla and others but they tend to be more technical to use.
