“Is it possible to add a M.2 SSD to it and use it as the primary boot drive? What would I need to do for that? There aren't any pictures of what the motherboard layout is like on the inside. Also what kind of RAM is best to upgrade?”

Maybe. Not always. It depends on the particular motherboard and BIOS. https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Can-I-add-an-SSD-to-570-P094/td-p/6455207
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Use a USB connection for the SSD (Solid State Drive) and when the PC is booting up, on the BIOS screen select "Boot Order" and choose "USB Device". Of course you will have to have an Operating System such as Windows or Linux Mint on the SSB.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Can't directly answer your question. However there is a M.2 SSD socket on the motherboard and screws for the m.2 SSD are in the box.. If you go the the HP site and look up the computer 570-097 (I think from memory), it provides technical info including a description and photo of the motherboard, plus RAM and the like. I'm thinking about adding a SSD time will tell as i mostly use a ipad, but need a desktop some of the time.
