Hello, i want to confirm if i can upgrade the memory ram of the laptop from 4gb to 8gb.

 

Also wanted to confirm if this model HDD can be upgraded to a SSD.

Hi:

 

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

 

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06189781

 

You can replace the 2.5" mechanical hard drive with a 2.5" SSD.

 

If your notebook has a M.2 slot, you can install a SATA M.2 SSD.

 

I recommend that you open up the notebook first and confirm that there is a M.2 slot present before purchasing a M.2 SATA SSD.

 

On some models, the slot is only there if the notebook came with a M.2 SSD from the factory.

 

You can see in chapter 3, page 29 of the service manual, additional parts are added for a M.2 SSD.
