Processor, ram and memory upgrade?

Greetings to all!

I am new to this website and maybe i have not spent enough time looking for the answer so please do forgive if I am just another user with a rhetorical question :D

I am soon to be an owner of a mac mini mid 2011

I know its not a new machine but i also know it is upgradable.

However, i am very unclear to what i can upgrade and to what extend.

Can the i5 be upped to i7 ?

How much is the max amount of ram i can put into it?

Can i put an SSD? or and HDD and what would be my limit on those two?

again, I am a newbie, so I am sorry for molesting your existence with a rhetorical question :))

Kind regards!

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Mac Mini's are upgradeable, for the most bang for your buck an SSD and RAM upgrade would be fairly simple and would dramatically extend the life of the MiNi.
