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
