SSD yes. You can replace the mechanical hard drive with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD. DDR4 sorry no. The motherboard is slotted for DDR3 and DDR4 would not fit in the slot. And your motherboard would not know what to do with it even if it would fit. Manual says 12 gigs is the max but many positive reports that it will upgrade to 2 x 8 = 16 gigs DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM. 

 

Here is the Service Manual:

See p. 63 and proceed as if replacing the hard drive. 

 

Post back with any questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

You could but worst case it fails to POST and best case it just downclocks to 1600 mhz so your best bet is just to get plain vanilla OEM DDR3L-1600 like Hynix, etc.
