In the '70's there was a song by Meat Loaf and the bridge was "2 out of 3 ain't bad" and applies here.

Here's the Service Manual:
Memory:
DDR3L-1600-MHz Single Channel Support Supports up to 16 GB of system RAM in the following configurations: ● 16384-MB total system memory (8192×2)
SSD:
No problem...replace the hard drive with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD like this:
Pages 33-41 of the Manual show how.
Post back if you need help finding memory.
The wireless card is a problem. Since you have the Realtek card you only have a single antenna which means upgrade to a decent dual band card is not feasible for any reasonable expenditure of time or money. Happy to explain further and have many times.

I didn't write it; that is a quote from the Manual and seems pretty plain English to me. It can accept up to 16 gigs total memory in the form of a pair of 8 gig modules.
