Hi,

Max RAM is 16GB of DDR3L 1600MHz RAM  (2x8GB)

You can get from your preferred brand

You can replace the 2.5" SATA3 HDD with a 2.5" SATA3 SSD

The Samsung 870 Evo is considered the best

Another question!! What is the max voltage i can put. The fury hyperX I’m looking at shows the 1.35v and 1.5v option. 
Also in “SODIM” theres the 12800 and 12800S and that’s something I don’t know about either 😕

You want the minimum voltage not the max. Use DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM which means low voltage 1.35 volt. "S" just means it is "small outline" or laptop memory. Not every maker uses that identifier. You want to stay away from "HyperX" and similar "gaming" memory as it has aggressive timings that may not be compatible with HP notebooks.
