Product: hp gaming laptop 16-a00032dx. 512 ssd nvidia 1660ti 3200 memory
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

new gaming laptop bought myself for christmas and wanting to know about cpu/gpu upgradeability. only spent $700 thought it was a good deal especially as i already upgraded memory to 16gb the most it will take. Like i said hp pavilion 16-a00032dx with i5 10300k, 16 gb 3200 mhz. ddr4 memory, 512mb ssd, nvidia 1660ti maxQ video, motherboard 87AF 32.31, Thanks for any answer I get. I was told no upgradeability but wasnt told why. i suspect it due to motherboard/CPU being bonded somehow. Everyone stay safe and well Dadstorm/Matt

No, CPU/GPU and OS (Windows) are on one piece of hardware called System board. You can only replace existing System board with a new System board listed on page 48 of the following Guide
