So to Upgrade your Storage you can use any of the SSD that is available in the market and if you find it costly then i suggest you to buy 120gb SSD and use it to install Windows and important software and you can add additional Hard drive for storing data like pictures, videos, etc.
RAM upgrade
Ram can also make a difference in boosting your laptop’s speed, most of the software use RAM of your computer to run as a background app, so if you have basic ram sticks like 2 or 4 GB then you can upgrade it to 8 or more as much as your motherboard supports it.
