You can only upgrade the SSD / HDD. Most laptop also allows you to upgrade the RAM, but for this laptop it is soldered in. Everything is also soldered in a well like the CPU and the GPU.

If you want a laptop that allows you to upgrade the GPU, then you will need to get a gaming laptop that cost $1,400+ and only specific laptop models will allow you to do so. The vast majority of laptops with dedicated GPUs will have them soldered into the motherboard.

Would upgrading to SSD really help that much in a laptop?

A SSD can make your laptop feel more responsive because Windows will boot up faster and programs / games will launch faster.
