Product: HP Notebook - 15-ba098nl

Hi, my notebook 15-ba098nl has become very slow to turn on and to use it. What can I upgrade to speed it up? I was thinking about Ram memory, which one is compatible for this model? And what's the max ram can I upgrade? I would also know if I can upgrade ssd. 

Thanks in advance. 

Luca

Here is the Service Manual:

 

Manual 

 

Max memory is 16 gigs DDR4-2400 which will bridge to -2133 speed. You can also replace the mechanical hard drive with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD. This will give the best performance improvement. The Manual speaks of an M.2 SATA SSD but there is no slot on the motherboard, it would require finding an adapter board. A 2.5 inch SATA SSD is just as fast as an M.2 SATA SSD.
