Hi:

 

What is the full model number or product number of your notebook?

 

Once you let me know that information, I can let you know what your options for upgrades are.

 

The processor and graphics adapter are integral parts of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded.

 

That leaves the memory and the storage drive which may be able to be upgraded.

Installing a M.2 2280 NVMe SSD would offer the best drive performance.
