I would like to know how many NVMe Slots my device has and also can I change/upgrade my Memory without sending it to HP Center without breaking the warranty.

You're very welcome.

 

Yes, your notebook is the newer model series but since it has an Intel 'HX' processor, it also has support for two M.2 NVMe SSDs'.

If your notebook has an Intel Core® i7-13700HX processor or Intel Core i5-13500HX processor, there is support for two M.2 NVMe SSDs.

 

If it has an Intel Core® i7-13700H processor or Intel Core i5-13500H processor, then there is only support for one M.2 NVMe SSD.

 

Regarding the warranty:

 

This is a peer-to-peer forum. 

 

We do not work for or represent HP, so we are unable to reply on HP's behalf regarding the warranty terms and conditions.

 

I recommend you contact HP customer service and seek a definite answer from HP.

Off the record, below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

 

target=_blankMaintenance and Service Guide Victus by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PCModel numbers: 16-...

 

If you look at chapter 5 of the manual, it indicates that installing memory or a SSD is a customer-authorized procedure, so in my opinion, you should not void the warranty upgrading the memory yourself as long as you don't break anything in the process.

 

Do note however, that if your notebook ever needs warranty work, you must return the notebook to its original hardware configuration before sending it in for service.

Hello Paul_Tikkanen,

Thank you very much for the info however my Victus has Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-14500HX, 2600 Mhz, 14 Cores, 20 Logical Processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU. Do you think/know if I have a secondary slot?

 

Thanks for the hint in the Guide, since I have a extra Ram which I saved as backup, will see after knowing regarding NVMe.

Thank you again Mate, but this time a Huge one, life saver before opening the Case of my Victus. Now I can increase (change the 1 TB NVMe in to main and the 512 in to the second one after cloning) the storage capacity.

 

I will also contact HP Türkiye before I start doing the Upgrade.

Anytime.

 

Yes, you can do that if you wish.

 

You should be able to install 2 x 4 TB drives in your notebook.
