Hello everyone, first off, I'am sorry for my english, I may do some mistake, I'am french.
I have a simple question about the Omen 880-XXX series. Can you upgrade them ?
Until recently, I had a homemade desktop, but the motherboard died today. What am I asking is, if I buy a Omen 880 with, let say 8go of ram, can I upgrade it to 16go with my own RAM ?, Also can I add hard drive ? Maybe change the Graphic card later ?
Thanks !

Thank you for the additional information, @StalkerSoC.
Here is the Product Specifications page for the 880-007nf. Your memory would not be compatible since it is DDR3 and the motherboard requires DDR4.
I doubt that you would want to upgrade the GTX 1070 anytime soon. I have an Omen X with the GTX 1070 and it is extremely powerful. I play all of my games, such as, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell "Blacklist:" on the Ultra settings with no problems.
The 880 series should be very upgradeable.

Let's say I choose the Omen by HP 880-007nf, with 8go of ram and a GTX 1070.
My RAM would be 4 Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 Go 1600 Mhz CAS 9, I already bought them not long ago.
Overall, appart from compatibility, can component be changed ?
