Hi:

HP does not have a service manual for your notebook.

They only have the manual for the older model series on your notebook's user guides support page.

According to chapter 1 of the manual, the notebook has two memory slots and can support 2 x 8 GB of DDR4-2666 MHz memory.  You can also use DDR4-3200 memory, but it will automatically bridge to 2666 MHz.

If you want to install more than 2 x 8 GB of memory, you can run this command to see if it is possible:

1. In the search box, search for cmd and click Run as administrator.

This will open the command prompt.

2. After the command prompt is opened, type wmic memphysical get maxcapacityEx and hit enter.

There, it will show the maximum RAM capacity your PC's motherboard can support.

The capacity is shown as Kilobytes, so you have to convert it to Gigabytes by dividing the number provided in the report by 1,048,576.

SSD: No one can tell you with a 100% guarantee how large a capacity NVMe SSD you can install.

Theoretically the sky's the limit as long as all of the memory chips on the SSD are on one side of the circuit board.

Otherwise, the slot may not have enough clearance to the motherboard with memory chips on the side of the SSD that would face the motherboard.

Chapter 1 of the older service manual indicates that HP offered NVMe SSD's up to 512 GB in the model series, but that is usually just what HP offered in the model series, not the maximum capacity supported.

For example, the Crucial memory company sells NVMe SSD's up to 4 TB for your notebook's model series.
