HP Pavilion 15-cc055od - Maximum Compatible RAM, SSD addition, Compatible Battery and Graphics Card

[abhishikth_raj]

I have a HP Pavilion 15-cc055od laptop. My laptop slowed down a lot and this issue persisted even after completely resetting the laptop. So, I want to upgrade my laptop as much as possible. I need the what the specs I should look for before upgrading.

1. I want to know what is the compatible RAM and what is the maximum amount of RAM I can upgrade it.
2. Can I add SSD and how much SSD storage can I add?
3. What is the compatible battery for this model and what capacity and specs should I look up to? 
4. Can I add any Graphics Card to it? Something like NVIDIA as I will be running Video editing software and  live production softwares. (I'm not sure if this is possible)

Thanks for the quick response

As specified in the laptop specifications page of my laptop model. I have a USB 3.1 Type-C Gen 1. I'm unable to connect a new display using the Type-C HDMI dock. I could find out that USB 3.1 Type-C doesn't support the transfer of video signals. 

What can I do with this? I want to connect to an external display using Type-C port. Will I be able to change the port to USB 3.2 or thunderbolt port from any Laptop Service retailer? Will my laptop and motherboard support it?

It ONLY has 1 hopeless USB 3.1 Type-C™ Gen 1 (Data up to 5 Gb/s); 2 USB 3.1 Gen 1 (Data Transfer Only) port which does NOT support Alt mode nor Power Delivery. You can NOT use it to

• Charge your machine,
• Connect to an external monitor with/without hub/dock/adapter (some hubs may have builtin chip to support this)

If you wish to connect 2 external monitors (only-total 3), you can use

• Monitor 1: HDMI direct cable,
• Monitor 2: Using a Displaylink Certified USB-A to HDMI adapter such as
