Hi,

Welcome to HP Support Forum, from my understanding you wish to upgrade your machine:

1. RAM: Your machine supports 16GB max and it has two SODIMM slots - customer non-accessible/non-upgradeable
2. HDD: Basically it supports all 7 mm/9.5 mm, SATA 2.5" hard drives. But for compatible reason, please use existing brand of current HDD.
3. Wifi card: You machine shold support 5.0GHz already ecause it has Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 802.11 ac 2x2 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter (non vPRO)

> i want to upgrade up to 5 tb.

An Other Person might have misread this statement, and thought that you want to update your wireless networking adapter to support communication on the 5 Gigahertz communications band.

I understand that you want to install a disk-drive with a capacity of 5000 GB. Correct?

This should be possible, if you can afford it (and also afford an external "backup" disk-drive of similar capacity).

Many "older" (say 2 or 3 years) motherboards only supported disk-drives of up to 2000 GB.

If you have a "newer" computer, you should be OK.

A hyperlink to the "manual" was posted by the Other Person.

That manual states:

　

Generic SSD 128 GB 2280 M2 SATA-3 Value TL	827560-027
Generic SSD 256 GB 2280 M2 PCIe 3x4SS NVMe TLC TL	847109-008
Generic SSD 512 GB 2280 M2 PCIe3x4SS NVMe TLC TL, not for products with AMD Radeon hybrid graphics	847110-007

So, you have a "next-generation" SSD (different connector pins) -- the "M.2" -- rather than the "usual" SATA interface.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.2

It will be VERY EXPENSIVE to purchase a 5 TeraByte "M.2" SSD, if, indeed, such a device is currently manufactured.

For example, a ONE TB drive is $700 US:

but you get "free shipping".
