I'm frankly astounded that your laptop even works in Windows 10.  According to the HP specs, it came with Vista preloaded, if not XP, and hardware that old generally does not work with Windows 10 due to lack of current drivers.  There are likely no HP Win10 drivers for a laptop that old.  So, if any hardware doesn't work, you are stuck.

 

The internal stofrage was a 250GB SATA HDD and you can resplace that with any current laptop SATA drive, but if it was mine, I would spend the extra money and get a SATA SSD for it.  That would significantly improve the performance.

 

The internal memory is two slots, each of which can handle up to 4GB of DDR2 SDRAM 667 or 800 Mhz.  So, you can upgrade up to a total of 8GB.

 

As to a camera, any clip-on HD camera with a USB connector will probably work OK.
