Laptop upgrading help please
Hello all.
I am thinking of updating my laptop and purchasing some more ram and a m.2 ssd.
I need some help purchasing the parts please.
Which ram would be ideal for my laptop? I currently have 2 x 4gb sticks inside atm.
There is currently a 1TB 2.5 " SATA drive inside but I have seen there is a m.2 slot.
I would like to continue to use the 1 TB drive for storage etc.
I want to place the windows 10 OS on a m.2 drive.
Can anyone advise what kind of drive would be best please?
Can anyone advise how to transfer the OS to the new drive once purchased?
Any help, advice, guides purchasing links for the Ram and m.2 ssd would be most appreciated.
Have a lovely day.

sorted byYou can scan your laptop on there & it will tell you your upgrade options.
Obviously do not buy their products without searching the price of the products elsewhere
It says ram is upgradable.
What would you suggest please.
Cheers.
Thankyou for your help.
Your existing ram may be soldered in, we don't know how many slots, what speed, etc, and the m.2 slot may just be for a cellular modem or other expansion. (edited)
Thankyou for your help.
I have opened it up and there is 2 x 4gb ram which are not soldered.
Also the m.2 slot can be used for a drive.
I checked the manual for this model.
Thanks again for any help.
