Its specs

A1. Yes it has 2 slots of RAM.

 

A2. There is NO 12GB RAM stick, they only make 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8gB, 16GB ..... Therefore you need 2 x 8GB to have 16GB. You can use the following compatible RAM (you can find at many good computer shops):

A3. No, it does not have second slot for adding SSD. You have to replace existing 2.5" HDD drive with a 2.5" SATA SSD drive using

                    https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/product/consumer/860evo/

           Or similar from reputable vendors.
                         One example (compatible drive, can use smaller/larger capacity)
