Yes and yes. Here's the Service manual:
Supports up to 8 GB of system RAM DDR3-1600 MHz Dual Channel support for a 3rd Generation Intel Core processor
Page 2
See also page 23:
Memory modules (two, DDR3-1600 MHz, PC3-12800): 4 GB 641369-001
How to on page 47. Note also on page 23 HP offered the model series with up to a 1 TB SATA HDD. That does not limit what you can put in. It would run a 2 TB HDD, but if HP offered it you can be 100% sure it would work.
You can alternatively install a solid state drive. If you get a hard drive (mechanical) get a 7200 rpm or one of th enewer drives with a very large memory cache. Hard drives have gotten better in the last couple years.
