1. RAM: It has  8 GB DDR4-2133 SDRAM (1 x 8 GB) now, you can add SAME existing 8GB to slot 2 to have 16GB. You can also use

2. STORAGE: No, you can't change to M.2 NVMe drive. You can upgrade to standard 2.5" SATA SSD such as

Max memory is 32 gigs DDR4-2133. So you can easily just add another 8 gig module, and that is what I recommend. 

Service Manual 

See p. 30 and you can see an M.2 SSD slot to the far left next to the hard drive. On this model series there is a chance that slot will not be there so open the laptop before you buy. It can ONLY take a SATA M.2 not NVME. SATA M.2 is still well worth doing. Much faster than your slow 5400 rpm hard drive. If the slot is missing replace the hard drive with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD. Uses the same mounting hardware and cable so easy replacement. 2.5 SATA has same performance as SATA M.2. 

Any more questions? Please mark as "solution" if this has helped you.
