Product: HP Notebook 14
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I received this laptop as a very kind gift.  However, it only has 2GB of RAM and a 32GB hardrive.  Pretty useless for me.  Trying to do some research and see what is available for upgrading this guy.  Any suggestion/information on doing this?  I have a fear it is not able to be upgraded which will make me feel terrible.  I know it will just sit in a drawer and do nothing.  My phone is faster and has more storage than this laptop.


Thanks for the help!
Dinky!

I'm much appreciative, I just know I won't use it which is unfortunate. It is quite slow just surfing the internet and I cannot use is it to install VMplayer or anything I'd use a computer for.
I was just curious as most PCs/laptops are upgradable.
Thanks for the reply. I'll just use it when they are around so they aren't the wiser to it's lack of use.

Happy Holidays

Hi,

 

It is a gift isn't it ? It actually has 4GB or RAM:

Well, you can't upgrade anything actually. It has a nice FHD screen and  Intel® 802.11ac (1x1) Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® 4.2 Combo (Miracast compatible). You can use it for your TV and brwosing internet.

 

Other option: sell it and buy a different machine.

 

Regards.

BH

I know this is late to comment, but you can actually upgrade some parts for this latop. The ram can be upgraded, and you can put a hard drive into the laptop. I have 16GB of ram in mine, but that really is not needed with how slow the cpu in this laptop is. 8GB of ram is all you need.
