I just wanted to upgrade SSD of 1TB and extra RAM for 8GB

Can anyone suggest me a best compatible SSD and RAM for that latop?

SK hynix Platinum P41 1TB PCIe NVMe Gen4 M.2 2280 Internal SSD l Up to 7,000MB/S l Compact M.2 SSD Form Factor SSD - Internal Solid State Drive with 176-Layer NAND Flash…

Is that compatible???

Hi:

The drive you want to buy would work, and it is a good drive, but since your notebook's M.2 slot is only PCIe Gen 3.0, the drive will not run anywhere near its maximum advertised read/write speeds.

This table shows the maximum transfer speeds that each PCIe slot generation provides:

Memory:

Below is the link to the service manual:

Chapter 1 has the memory upgrade information.

c06377664.pdf (hp.com)

The notebook can support up to 2 x 16 GB of DDR4-3200 memory.

The memory will run at a max speed of 2933 MHz.

I recommend Crucial memory.  Crucial indicates the notebook can support up to 2 x 32 GB of memory.

Thanks Alot for your help.

So, I'm gonna buy crucial's RAM and 1TB hard.

The default RAM is 8 GB, Can I just add 1X16GB with already installed 8GB? Total will be 24GB, is tht possible?

Also, after adding 1TB in secondary Slot. How can I use it as a system main storage?

You're very welcome.

Yes, you can add a 16 GB memory chip in the empty slot and have 24 GB.

Your notebook only has one M.2 slot, so you will have to replace the 256 GB NVMe SSD with the 1 TB NVMe SSD.
