Upgrading RAM and SSD on HP 15-ef0023dx

[alex5526]

Hello.

I have this laptop model https://support.hp.com/ro-en/document/c06612129 and I've been looking into upgrading the SSD to one with higher capacity. My question is, what is the maximum storage this model supports? I'm not very much into hardware so I would appreciate some guidance into what models should or should not buy in terms of size or any other factors.

I'm also interested in upgrading one of the RAM sticks too, as this model has  12GB (1x4GB, 1x8GB) and I'd like to take it to at least 16GB because I do a fair bit of multitasking and this could improve my experience. I think that is the limit as well but I'm not sure.

Thanks for any help!

As you can see from its specs

1. RAM: It has 12 GB DDR4-2400 SDRAM (1 x 4 GB, 1 x 8 GB) now which is more than enough to run normal apps. If you wish, you can upgrade to 32GB using the following compatible RAM (will run at 2400MHz)

2. STORAGE: The series does not support dual storage therefore you have to replace existing 256 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD with a larger (capacity) drive. It supports very high number but physically you can use 2TB (some vendors now can fit 4TB to 2280 single sided format). For example
