A1.  Warranty is a grey/gray area very hard to say in concrete. For new generation machines, adding something is a work for Authorized Service Provider parts . You can add yourself. If something went wrong due to this upgrade, I think HP would not honor warranty. Hope this makes sense.

 

A2. No,

 

A3. Yes, new installed Windows 10 uses the product key embedded in BIOS of your machine.

 

A4. You can install a fresh copy with Windows 10 using

           https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

 

      Windows 10 will automatically activate using the key which is mentioned on A3. above.

 

Regards.
