The specs of your machine is

You can upgrade

1. RAM: From  4 GB DDR4-2133 SDRAM (1 x 4 GB) to 16GB (2 x 8GB) max using compatible RAM or following RAM (will run at 2133MHz):

2. STORAGE: You can replace  1 TB 5400 rpm SATA with a standard 2.5" SATA SSD for example

    or add M.2 SATA SSD to your machine using standard M.2 SATA SSD, for example

I would not waste money on more RAM -- as 4GB is plenty for Windows 10.

But the SSD would be a sound purchase, as that will yield the most performance gain.

Hi Banhhien,

Thanks for the info.. just to make sure if my laptop has a slot for an M.2 SSD type, that means no need to remove the old HDD? Is there a link where i can see the inside/ motherboard of such laptop model?

Thanks
