Can the memory and / or hard drive be upgraded?

I am researching laptops for someone who lost everything, including husband ☹️, in a fire.  Someone has donated this to her and I am trying to figure out if it can.  She doesn't game but writes music on it.  The current specs will be fine (16 / 512) but it might need to be upgraded later - the music software is a hog.

See chapter 1 of the service manual for the memory upgrade info and the drive capacities HP offered in the model series.

 

Maintenance and Service Guide

 

If a 1 TB NVMe SSD isn't enough, you could go up to a 4 TB drive.

 

The notebook also has support for two M.2 NVMe SSD's so you could install 1 TB drives in each slot, for example...one for the operating system and programs and one for file storage.

Thank you!  We didn't have the manual so that was an added bonus to your answer.
