Upgrading performance of HP 15-bs145tu

[vikrant28]

I am using HP 15-bs145tu laptop with Windows 10 64 bit OS.

RAM - 8GB

Hard Disk - 1TB HDD (not SSD).

Below are my questions:

1) Is my laptop compatible for SSD ?

2) Can both SSD and existing hard disk work in laptop at the same time ? For example SSD for boot, OS, applications etc and HDD for data storage.

3) If yes for question 1 and 2, please suggest a suitable SSD accordingly.

4) I am also looking for RAM upgrade along with SSD addition to my laptop. I know I have an extra slot which can take max 8GB. Should I opt for 2666 or 2400 speed ? Existing is 2400 I think. 

5) If I go for 256GB SSD, should I go for 8GB RAM or 4GB RAM would be sufficient to boost performance up ?

If your laptop is 8th generation CPU, you can go ahead and purchase the ram.

According to the specification. It has shown as the 8th generation.

Have a nice day!!
