Could I add a solid state drive later? Like take it to a computer store and have it done?
You could, but you'd probably want to install Windows on the SSD as well, to get the full benefit of the faster drive. You probably wouldn't need to take the computer to a store to get the drive installed though—it's pretty simple to add one. This is what installing a SATA drive (SSD or HDD) entails:

Reinstalling Windows takes some time, but it's not complicated either.
An NVMe or mSATA drive is even simpler: make sure the standoff on the motherboard in the correct position, insert the drive in the slot, and insert the screw to hold it in place. I helped my brother install one a month ago, and it literally took two minutes.
By the way, I saw the HP models you listed before you edited your post. The second one, with the 1060 6 GB and the i5-8400, is better, but either one should be more than fine for TS3 and good enough for TS4, both on ultra settings.
