The manual is actually meant for technicians/Engineers/Enthusiast level PC users/Super Users.
Trust Crucial Memory on their recommendation. See the web document from crucial on your specific notebook at the link below.

Yes. I can confirm it.
You can replace the single 4GB memory module with a Crucial's 8 GB memory module and you will have 8 GB of installed memory. Any of the single sticks of 8 GB memory on the web document are compatible with your notebook

Here is a link to all guaranteed compatible upgrades for your notebook. The Crucial MX500 CT1000MX500SSD1 1 TB SSD is indeed compatible. The only items which may require hardware purchase are perhaps the M.2 SSD products.

Thanks very much @Erico.
I can see that the HDD can be replaced with a Crucial SSD but I am confused by the manual when it comes to the RAM as it says that some memory is not upgradeable
"One memory module slot (E2/A4/A6 processors):
Memory is non-customer accessible/non-upgradeable
DDR4-1866 single channel support
Supports up to 8 GB of system RAM in the following configurations:
● 8192 MB (8192 MB × 1)
● 4096 MB (4096 MB × 1)"
Can you confirm that I can upgrade the 4GB module with an 8GB module on my laptop?
And which 8GB module is compatible?
Thanks
Thanks

Thanks @Erico
I able to do the practical work on computers and have the tools to do it but when it comes to finding compatible components I have to ask more knowledgeable people as yourself.
I will purchase the Crucial 8GB DDR4-2666 SODIMM CT8G4SFS8266 Configuration ID: CT14013611 as the maximum memory for this laptop is only 8GB.
Thanks a million
