RAM upgrade

[Thwegg]

Hello, 

So I just purchased this laptop and I'm thinking of upgarding the RAM. However I cannot find this particular product on any support site nor can I find out the exact RAM it uses. I know I currently have 8gb ram, and I know I need to find the same kind so that they work together.  But I cannot find any information regarding what type of RAM I need. 

Also, along the same veins, with this laptop is it possible to add another HDD? Or replace the current one with an SSD?

Thank you for your help

Hi,

Looked like you bought this machine from Best Buy. And the following link shows its RAM information:
