annoying because the reference, does not allow me to have the exact model:

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/omen-by-hp-45l-gaming-desktop-pc-gt22-0000i/2100827516/model/21...

all one has if the right motherboard

 BlizzardOC motherboard specifications

Expansion slots

  • (1) PCI Express 5.0 x16 lanes

  • (1) PCI Express 3.0 x4 lanes

  • (1) M.2 socket 1, key A

  • (2) M.2 socket 3, key M (one for SSD card PCIe Gen 3.0 x4)

as you definitely have a pci 16x graphics card
can be a single free pci 4x slot

maybe you know the exact name, as mentioned above in my answer

---------------------------------

this is not a model:
HP Desktop M01-F1xxx

HP Desktop - M01-F1033wb

[edit] maybe this one ?

hi

sorry @walt1701 

but following your private message I am not more advanced, even the opposite

the serial number S/N (note that it should not be disclosed) Shows me the same product page
OMEN by HP 45L Gaming Desktop PC IDS Base Models (ArticunoI)
With the only motherboard
BlizzardOC motherboard specifications


but the SSID does not match what you are telling me
SSID: 8819 / if it is the SSID Motherboard ID: 8917?

then I have two product/series pages only same motherboard or
this one but  amd
HanaAOC motherboard specifications

so i think i gave you the answer earlier

https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/omen-45l-gaming-desktop-gt22-0450t-3k1g6av-1#techSpecs

Expansion slots

1 PCIe x16; 1 PCIe x4;

the pci x16 you definitely have a graphics card ..
and so remains the following

do you need anything else?

Sounds like I should have 1 PCIe x4; left -

 

That is what I needed - should be enough to add a USB expansion card - thanks!
