So, my Laptop is:
HP Pavillion Gaming Laptop 15-cx0140TX.
1TB HDD
8GB RAM,
no SSD,
core i5 8th
4GB graphics card
And I felt like upgrading the ram and storage.. So my question is which RAM should I buy, how many storage capacity of RAM will my system support and most importantly is there an additional space for adding SSD slot if so what size and model should I use?
