Hi there
For "Officy" type products adding more RAM probably would only make marginal difference. If you run any VM's at all --even just 1 then RAM makes a big difference -- Virtual Machines just EAT RAM for breakfast -- even smallish ones like XP VM's or some Linux VM's will use up RAM. Plus having more RAM will allow you to run more applications at the same time.
Given -- always assuming you've got sufficient in the first place (a Laptop with W10 should have 8GB as a minimum these days) -- a choice between more RAM and an SSD - having an SSD instead of an HDD will yield the biggest performance gain, especially on lower powered CPU machines.
