Q: Questionwhat are my options for upgrading its ssd for gaming?

Asked 9 months ago by Joseph.

• A:Answer Will need to check your documentation to see what type of ssd is compatible with your system. There are two types of m.2 drives which is nvme and sata there pinned different, you can also visit the hp website and they have tools you can download and help you check what type, I find Samsung is good because they have a cloning software which is good, should still back up when performing this upgrade and 2 Terabytes should be good.

Q: Questionwhy is this not charging right ? we bought it in nov and not even a year old yet

Asked 10 months ago by JasonS.

• A:Answer Can you elaborate more on the issue with charging, it could be a loose connection on the inside of the laptop, the charging port is soldered to the motherboard, may need to file a warranty claim if it’s still covered, the tech would come out to your location or you can send it off for them to check it out further through HP and if the charging port is bad then they would replace the motherboard for you. Also depending if you bought more protection through Best Buy then going through them would be the best bet to see what the Geek Squad recommends.

Q: QuestionCan you change the color of the backlit keyboard? Or will it just stay in one color?

Asked 1 year ago by Julie.

• A:Answer As far as I have discovered; this version of the model only has white back lighting built into it. Other models seem to have different colors. There is software built into the laptop to test if the hardware is compatible with other backlighting. Look into the software enabled on you laptop to see if you have other lighting options.
