What is your computer ?  Please use the following instructions to find out the model/product of your machine:

Please note:  You won't get B&O sound on your TV and depending on your machine, it may NOT give 4K output.

The following link shows specs of your computer

   https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c04791387

It has HDMI port.

I did post my testing early this year using my loan HP x360 15"  with 4K screen and two HP x360 13" with 4K screen (all have B&O software and INTERNAL speakers) on my 4K Panasonics TV.

The results were.

(a) Yes, they can connect,

(b) No, they won't display 4K even using HDMI 2.0 cables,

(c) B&O software won't transfer to TV - a sound bar 3.1 gave me lot better sound.

My answer for your question is: Yes you can connect to your Samsung 4K TV using HDMI but it won't shows 4K and won't transfer B&O sound to TV.

Thanks again for your help, but I don't understand alot of your answer.  I'm sorry!!

I thought I could connect the laptop to the TV wirelessly.  I really don't care if I can get the 4K or the sound (But I don't know what B&O is???)

I just need to know HOW to connect the laptop to the tv?  Can I do it wirelessly?  do I have to download software on the laptop?  What do I do on the TV to make it see the laptop or vice versa, what do I do on the laptop to make it see the tv.

Thanks so much for all your help!!!!!!
