You can't upgrade CPU w/o buying new system board (if available), you can

1. RAM: It has 12 GB DDR4-2400 SDRAM (1 x 4 GB, 1 x 8 GB) now, you can upgrade to 32GB using compatible RAM. For example   https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr4/ct2k16g4sfd824a/ct13135959
2. STORAGE: It has  128 GB M.2 SATA SSD (SATA) now. You can upgrade to 1TB or 2TB using standard M.2 NVMe SSD. For example   https://www.crucial.com/ssd/p5/ct2000p5ssd8/ct18201387  or   https://www.samsung.com/au/memory-storage/nvme-ssd/970-evo-nvme-m-2-ssd-1tb-mz-v7e1t0bw/

Ok, so I already went and got a 16gb ram card instead of a 32gb accidently. So before I order the right 32gb ram solution, I noticed that we've been talking about 2400ghz ram. What's the difference between 3200 and 2400 ghz ram? And can my laptop accept 3200 ghz ram?
So far I've read that 2400 has more capacity but 3200 is faster.

It may not accept 3200MHz RAM. If accepted, it will run at 2400MHz
