These are your specs:

Start upgrade procedure on p. 34. This is all end-user allowed work so no warranty concerns.
You can upgrade the existing 256 gig SSD to a 512 gig like this:
You could have a 2.5 inch hard drive or SSD added to the existing setup but would need mounting hardware. Post back to discuss further if you like that option.
You can add an 8 gb DDR4-2666 SO-DIMM like this:

I don't have a 256gb ssd, i have a 1T hdd and i want to put an ssd on the available slot (i want to stay with the 1T hdd and with the 500Gb ssd on the extra slot), i was watching some ssd's can i put on my laptop this ssd m.2 2280 Crucial P1 500GB 3D NAND NVMe PCle?
And i can put this type of ram (HyperX Impact 8GB DDR4 2666mhz Cl15) but i don't know if the size matters on the ram.
Also another question, how can i put the windows on the ssd and take it ou of the hdd?

The Crucial will work as an NVME M.2 SSD but that particular one is a budget NVME and not quite as fast as a 970 Evo. Still fast enough.
I do not recommend HyperX or other "gaming" or performance memory. The experience with it is spotty and if it works it still runs at OEM specs so better to buy OEM type memory. The HDD can be cloned to the SSD as along as there is not more on the HDD than the SSD can hold. We can recommend cloning software such as Macrium Reflect Free. Otherwise you can remove the hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 10 onto the SSD. Its a free download and you need no Key Code to activate it.

Ok, i think i'm going to buy the crucial p1 because the price difference it's quite a bit.
Now for the ram i won't buy the hyperX, but is this one going to work (RAM SO.DIMM Kingston valueRam 8gb ddr4-2666mhz CL19).

Kingston Value RAM also sometimes causes issues. It is built to run with the broadest possible spectrum of machines, and sometimes HP laptops are finickly and won't take it. I encourage you to buy Samsung or Hynix, like that: generic laptop OEM memory.
