Hi:

 

Your notebook can support up to 2 x 8 GB of DDR3L-1600 memory.

 

It has no M.2 slot so if you want to upgrade to a SSD, you will need to replace the 2.5" mechanical hard drive with a 2.5" SATA SSD.

 

Here's a YouTube video that shows how to open up the notebook:

The 250 G4 is the business class version of your notebook.

Tnank you very much!

 

Can I replace:

- a processor from i5 to i7;

- a video card?

 

HP Recommended

You're very welcome.

 

The processor and graphics adapters are integral parts of the motherboard and the only way to upgrade either would be to replace the motherboard with one listed in chapter 3 of your notebook's service manual that may have a better processor or graphics adapter.  You would also need to replace the heat sink if you got a motherboard with better graphics.
