Hi,

Your PC supports max 16GB of DDR3L 1600Mhz RAM (2x8GB)
There are 2 slots and at the moment you have one slot with 4GB stick and one empty slot. So you can install an extra 8GB in the empty slot without any problem. You can buy RAM from your preferred brand such as Crucial, Samsung...

On page 55 of service manual you can see the steps to upgrade RAM:

Yes you can replace the 1TB hard drive with a 2TB hard drive. What you need is a 2,5" SATA3 hard drive.

You could also consider replacing with a 2.5" SSD which would increase everyday performance of the PC.

 

Hope it helps,

David
