I can’t wait for the hard drive to come soon so I can use that computer again!I have questions about the sustem.is the system good enough for gaming with the base memory of 12gbs?

HP Recommended

You could replace the 4 GB memory chip with an 8 GB memory chip and max out the memory to 16 GB.

 

Crucial 8GB DDR4-2400 SODIMM | CT8G4SFS824A | Crucial.com

 

It may be worth it for the extra 4 GB of memory, but the notebook's memory will also run in the higher performing dual channel mode instead of the single channel mode it is running in now with mismatched memory capacities.

Will I need to get a another product key even though I had a windows product key when the computer wasn’t damaged.

HP Recommended

The Windows product key is encrypted in your notebook's BIOS  

 

You won't need the product key to reinstall Windows 10.

Hi I got the hard drive but it was too big.i got a 3.5inch on accident and I  will return it.What other hard drives or ssds can you recommend that are under $50?

HP Recommended

If you want to keep the cost at around $50, you will have to buy a 500 GB one...

 

Amazon.com: Western Digital 500GB WD Blue SA510 SATA Internal Solid State Drive SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/...

I installed the hard drive that was to large to fit internally so front part was opened a little bit and it still asked for drivers.will I also need a new data cable?

HP Recommended

Unfortunately, I won't be able to help you if you broke anything.

 

I wouldn't know what to do.

HP Recommended

Could it be that 3.5inch hdds aren’t compatible with laptops that use a 2.5inch hdd?if not would buying a new sata cable fix this issue.or should I wait until the ssd comes and test it out.

HP Recommended

After I get the ssd that I ordered install it and fix the computer using the usb, will this computer be able to run windows 11?If so would you recommend if I should put windows 11 on this laptop?
