Q: Hello, Is it possible to install google chrome or firefox on the computer?
A: Hi Joseph, thank you for the question. As presented, the 14-fq0033dx laptop with Windows 11 in S Mode only allows the Edge Browser. However, you can convert the system to Windows 11 Home (no S Mode) and use the browser of your choice. The conversion is free and simple, but not reversible.
Q: Can the storage be expanded?
A: Hello Alex, Looking at the HP 14-fq0033dx laptop, I can confirm that it has an available NVMe M.2 PCIe slot. Thank you for your question.
A: Yes, you can do it, and it's absolutely free if you do it yourself. Microsoft has the instructions at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/switching-out-of-s-mode-in-windows-4f56d9be-99ec-6983-119f-031bfb28a307#WindowsVersion=Windows_11
A: For what you've described, I think it would work very well.
Q: Can I upgrade the RAM from 8 - 16 GB? If so, should I buy an NVMe or SATA?
A: Thank you for the question about the HP 14-fq0033dx. All of the newest models use slotted RAM so they can be upgraded, but they require battery removal so user access is officially unsupported - RAM slots are accessible/upgradeable by IT or self-maintainers only. Please reach out to the Geek Squad or HP Support for upgrade options. Note that this uses DIMM DDR4 RAM. NVMe and SATA refer to storage interface types for the SSD, and this model has SATA 3. There is not an extra slot, but you can change the existing SSD for one of higher capacity. Again, Geek Squad can assist you with that.
A: The sound on this laptop is adequate in my opinion. It is not super loud at the max setting but is loud enough if you are listening in a quiet room.
Q: Hey I was wondering if use can use editing apps on this laptop such as adobe
A: Adobe is a company that makes a number of different apps, and they don't all have the same requirements. For example, this computer meets the minimum (but not recommended) requirements for PhotoShop and Illustrator, but does not meet the minimums for After Effects.
