Max memory according to the Manual is 12 gigs of DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM, but it is widely known it will take 2 x 8 gigs for 16 gigs total.
Yours is an i7 model so it has 2 slots. Memory installation instructions are all the way to p. 116 and it is a gnarly job: you have to remove the whole motherboard so something that should only be attempted by a technician, really.
As for an SSD, there is no extra slot to add a small gumstick type disk as on current model laptops. The only way to have an SSD is to remove the hard drive and install a 2.5 inch SATA SSD which is the same size and shape as your hard drive. But it would be installed Instead Of, and not as an extra drive.
You could do a CD/DVD drive adapter for the mechanical drive and put a smaller SSD in the internal hard drive bay to have workable storage at the lowest cost.
Post back with any more questions but please accept as solution if this is your answer.
