It would help if you used a HP Product number(SKU) or Product name.

If we know that it is useful in researching the hardware configuration so we can provide an answer that is  specific to your HP product.

Upgrading a factory buiit mini format desktop does come with some challenges.

That is because of the lack of internal space, lack of options available on the motherboard and available power from the stock power supply.

Upgrading the video card is possible, but it will need to be a low profile version.

You may have to upgrade the PSU to a 500W unit if the card you choose requires more than the stock PSU can supply.

There are videos on YouTube that show people upgrading the Envy TE01 desktops, I do not see one that is specific to yours.

Yes, you can upgrade the graphics card on your HP Envy desktop, but there are a few things to check first:

1. Power Supply (PSU) – Ensure your PSU has enough wattage and the necessary connectors for the new GPU. High-end GPUs often require more power.

2. Physical Space – Check if your case has enough room for a larger GPU, as some high-performance cards are quite big.

3. PCIe Slot Compatibility – Your motherboard should have a PCIe x16 slot, which most modern GPUs require.

4. Cooling & Airflow – High-performance GPUs generate more heat, so make sure your case has good airflow to prevent overheating.

Also, before upgrading, it's a good idea to check for potential performance bottlenecks. I recommend using this bottleneck calculator to see if your CPU and GPU will work efficiently together.

If everything checks out, upgrading your GPU can give you a significant performance boost, especially for gaming or creative work!

Dear,

I completely understand your frustration. As a developer, having a key that doesn’t function as expected is certainly an inconvenience. It’s clear that the Omen key isn’t the most useful for non-gamers, and I agree that a simple way to remap it would be great. Your suggestion for a BIOS option or an Fn+ or Win+ combination seems like a logical solution.

The fact that this issue is widely discussed across forums only adds to the frustration, and I believe HP should listen to its community. A simple software update or an open API for the System Event Utility could solve this, giving users more flexibility.

I hope HP takes this feedback into account and offers a solution soon. It would make the experience much smoother for everyone.

Best regards.
