@BigCJ315 Welcome to HP Community!

 

I understand that you would like to upgrade the memory and SSD.

 

Your computer supports up to 32 GB (with two 16 GB modules) and 16 GB (with two 8 GB modules) on 64-bit computers.

 

There is only one slot for SSD. It is not possible to upgrade the SSD.  However, you can contact our HP shopping team and check. 

 

 

Keep us posted,

I upgraded to 32GB of ram (disappointing that it only runs at 2133MHz, not its capacity of 2666).

 

While the case was open, I saw there was a SATA cable, and power connection, plus the slot, so I installed a 3.5" 7200rpm internal HDD, borrowing one of the case screws to tighten it down. There is a slot and power connection for a second internal HDD, but you'd need to purchase the SATA cable.
