Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I have a pretty decent laptop. It has 8GB of ram, a solid state drive, and an AMD Athlon Gold 3150u Processor. However, I am thinking of upgrading the solid state, because it only has 170GB with windows installed (120GB Left as of now.) I am also thinking of upgrading my ram from 8GB to 16GB, or more, because windows can be a hog sometimes. I am going to take a guess and say that opening the laptop will void the warranty, but I am still not sure and nothing I find online answers this exact question.

I am wondering, will upgrading or opening the laptop void the current warranty I have on this laptop?

Warranty is a grey/gray area very hard to say in concrete. For new generation machines, adding something or fixing 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.


Regards.
