My current screen with this laptop only supports up to a 1920 x 1080 resolution, but the Intel Core i7-8550U Processor it's installed with can support up to 4K graphics. I want to replace my current screen for that higher resolution but don't know if it's possible based on model compatibility and function stability (i.e. touch capable, cameras for Windows Hello, etc.). If so, would it work with something like this or is my laptop too outdated to do that?

Theoretically although it would not be easy or inexpensive. You would need to replace both the screen panel and the video cable. The motherboard will support the 4k screen.

Above are the HP Part numbers you need. Post back if you want to do a deeper dive into locating these parts and then getting instructions on how to do the replacement.

As I said if you get the parts it can be done. Here is the Service Manual:
Replacing the cable makes it a bit more of a task then just replacing the screen. You will have to strip it down to expose the motherboard. See p. 53 of the Manual.
Get the screen from eBay and you are in luck that HP still has the cable in stock.
