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

     http://specs.kolomgadget.com/store/hp-17-x116dx/

 

it uses  DDR3L

 

Page 2 of the manual shows:
