Hi:
Your notebook has one memory slot and the maximum memory the slot will support is 1 x 8 GB of DDR3L-1600.
Your only option for a SSD would be to replace the 2.5" mechanical hard drive with a 2.5" SATA SSD.
There are many different brands to choose from, so choose one that has good reviews and has a storage capacity that meets your needs and budget.
Below is the link to the service manual.
