1. RAM: It has  4 GB DDR3L SDRAM (1 x 4 GB) now and supports 16GB (2 x 8GB) max. You can upgrade to

       (a)  8GB: add same existing RAM to slot 2 or using the following compatible RAM

2. STORAGE: It does not have M.2 slot for storage. You can REPLACE its 500 GB 5400 rpm SATA with 1TB or 2TB 2.5" SSD drive using

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