Q: QuestionIs the storage SSD user accessible and changeable? How difficult would it be?(2 answers)
A: AnswerCouldn’t have been easier. I’m not a computer genius, and it was very simple. This particular model doesn’t require battery removal unless you’re worried about static shock or something. Simply purchase a gen 4 ssd I used a Samsung 980 PRO 1Tb PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2. Download the HP recover tool from the Microsoft Windows App Store on to a 32gb flash drive. I used a usb-c flash drive to speed up the process. Unplug and turn off power. Remove the 4 exposed screws on the back, unsnap the bottom cover using a guitar pick, there are 2 additional snaps in the middle, but just push lightly towards the front and rear while pulling outward and they will release just like the perimeter snaps. Replace the hard drive, and reboot from the the HP recovery tool saved on your 32gb flash drive. Follow the onscreen prompts. You do have to disable the secure boot options in the bios, but this is all “on screen” prompts, there’s no technical know how needed. Viola, upgrade complete with 4x hard drive storage. FYI, there is a YouTube video by HP support explaining all of this. If you are uncomfortable with these steps, I’m sure the Geek Squad can help.Answered by Anonymous
Q: QuestionWill taking it out of S mode effect performance/ speed. etc.(3 answers)
A: AnswerNo, it won't. It's what you add to your software apps and what you run that affects your performance/speed. Bear in mind that Windows is loading your machine with it's updates, telemetry, etc. that has a huge affect on it. That's why after a few years, users will often clean it up with reinstalling Windows. Full system recovery. Personally, I install Linux Mint to avoid all of that aggravation. I dual boot, keeping Windows for one year until the warranty is up on the machine; then I delete Windows for the space.Answered by glasscapt
- A: AnswerThank you for the question. The HP 15-fc0093dx does not have an Intel CPU - it has an AMD Ryzen 5-7520U, and it supports Vt. This model has Wi-Fi 6, which is backward compatible with 2.4 and 5G frequencies.
Answered by HP Team
- A: AnswerThis laptop has an AMD Ryzen 5 7520u processor. This is comparable to an Intel Core i5 1135G7 processor. This computer is fine for school work, but is not a gaming computer per se. It does not have a "high end" video card like serious gamers want. However, it should be suitable for video games that are not particularly demanding, as it has a generous amount of RAM, 16 GB. The SSD is somewhat small at 256 GB, but this is more than adequate for most people and can be upgraded to a larger SSD if desired.

Q: Questionwindows 10 or 11(2 answers)
A: AnswerThank you for asking. The HP 15-fc0093dx has Windows 11 Home in S Mode.Answered by HP Team
Q: QuestionHow do you remove the S Mode from the computer?(3 answers)
A: AnswerThank you for the question. Remember that removing S Mode is not reversible. Go to the Settings menu and select “Update & Security”. Then go to the “Activation” tab and choose the “Switch out of S mode” option. Click “Yes” to confirm your decision.Answered by HP Team
Q: QuestionCan you play CD's on this computer?(3 answers)
A: AnswerNone of the new laptops come with a CD/DVD bay/tray due to software being available online. However if you need to attach a CD/DVD player you can attach an external drive which I am sure BestBuy or online store will carry. Make sure to check if your laptops has a USB or USB-C port and purchase the player based on your laptop specs. Hope this helps!Answered by Portalman

Happy purchase
I recently purchased this laptop about 2 weeks ago after not having my own laptop for the past few years. I was looking for a laptop that I could do work part time on and also for gaming. The graphics on this laptop for the games I’ve played so far has been absolutely beautiful. Better than I originally thought it would be! eventually I am going to get something to add extra storage but for now it is fulfilling its purpose. It’s run very fast and smooth as well! overall very happy I ended up getting this laptop.

HP 15.6 16gb 256 laptop
I bought this laptop as an open box excellent condition for 289.99. Everything was included nothing was missing, I just wiped it down cleaning it, since being open box there was finger prints and long blonde hairs. No biggie. I am very pleased with this laptop but not much memory so I bought an external hard drive that I am having a hard time figuring out how to transfer the pictures that took up all the space when I entered in the microsoft account. Ugh. Until I figure all that out, I am still able to quickly get into my social media or email and any other pages I have been on. I ordered a keyboard cover and a hard case off A****n that fits it perfectly and totally personalized mine from my bf who got the same laptop the same day as I got mine. He paid 329.99 for a new one and the next day the price dropped to 299.99. He has to call the 800 number to get a price adjustment. We are both very happy with the laptops. Sad that you have to buy the 365 subscription if you want certain programs. I am uncertain if i will go for it or not also the cloud service. It all adds up over time. Great price, looks nice, perfect size, he plays his game on his no issue, I play candy crush haha. Very responsive. Quick boot and shut down. There was a laptop on A****n that looked beautiful and has more memory etc, but was an unknown brand so I chose to go with the HP, also this has a Ryzen processor and the one on A***** had celeron. Just going back and forth with the build parts and quality was another reason I chose this one. Set up was very easy, I was up and running in no time!!
