[glambert159]

Hello 

I would like to know if it is possible to connect a HP OMEN ( 15-ek0018ca) to a HDMI tv and a VGA monitor at the same time in Extended mode. ( Laptop screen off, HDMI (tv) and VGA monitor. 

And if this laptop is upgradeable for  the RAM and HD 

Thank you

Its apecs

which does not say its available ports but I believe it has at least one HDMI 2.0a port and one mini DisplayPort 1.4. VGA connection is too old, you need a proper conversion adapter (may be ending up buying a new monitor is better). Anyway, you can connect

• miniDP 1.4 to HDMI cable to TV
• HDMI to VGA adapter to monitor

and you can use both at the same time.

1. RAM: It has 16 GB DDR4-2933 SDRAM (2 x 8 GB) now. You can upgrade to 32GB (2 x 16GB) or 64GB (2 x 32GB) max using Samsung RAM (I believe it has Samsung RAM now)

                      

or use the following compatible RAM  (will run at 2666MHz)

             32GB:   https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr4/ct2k16g4sfd8266/ct19044534

             64GB:  https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr4/ct2k32g4sfd8266/ct19044520

2. STORAGE: It has 1 TB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD now. You can add 1TB or 2TB more to the second M.2 NVMe SSD slot using Crucial P2 or P5 or Samsung 970 EVO series, such as
