Hi:

The Windows product key is in your notebook's BIOS.

But Windows is asking for a key to an upgraded version of Windows to get more features, such as upgrading from W8.1 Single Language (SL) to W8.1 any language, or W8.1 Single Language to W8.1 Professional, and you need a different product key for that which you would have to buy.

If you want to see the Windows 8.1 SL product key in your notebook's BIOS, you can install the free Showkey Plus utility from the Microsoft Store.

Your notebook can support a maximum of 2 x 8 GB of DR3L-1600 memory.

This would be a compatible 8 GB memory if you want to add an 8 GB memory chip in the empty slot:

This would be a compatible 4 GB memory chip to add to the empty slot.

Yes, it would be a very good idea to replace the 2.5" mechanical hard drive with a 2.5" SSD.

This 500 GB SSD would be what I recommend...
