@S_SG,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

This is a wonderful place to converse with the community, get assistance and find tips.

I'll be glad to help you 🙂

You can find the answers to your questions.

1. Maximum hard drive supported on your computer is 500 GB
2. You can go ahead and replace the keyboard
3. Maximum RAM supported on your computer is 4GB so you can upgrade the RAM.
4. You can replace the wireless card on the computer.

Please refer to the below service guide for the part numbers and the supported hardware information.

I recommend you purchase a new computer instead of investing on this PC. This is a pretty old PC and you may not get all the parts for this computer.

Hope that answers your question.
