2 RAM slots. Uses DDR4-2400 SO-DIMM. Manual says 16 gb is the max but its really 32. 16 is more than enough for almost anyone, however. 

 

Yes there is an M.2 slot for SATA M.2 only not the faster NVME kind. 

 

M.2 slot circled in red next to RAM on leftM.2 slot circled in red next to RAM on left

 Can I use this SSD in my HP 15 bs146tu??

 

HP Recommended

That is the right kind (SATA). Oddly, Users have reported some issues with HP SSDs in HP laptops. No reason to believe you would have an issue but there are lots of options out there and you can shop on price. 

 

This is one we recommend here without any real issues and tends to be a good price:
