A: AnswerYou can, but you may need to make a few updates first and because that app needs a lot of memory I would not attempt to do this right out of the box. Also for process intensive software, I'd recommend a faster CPU as well. Maybe take a look at the i7 and find a machine with a minimum of 32GB of RAM.Answered by JWKRP
Q: QuestionIs this a good pc for 9yr old gamer? Like sims etc(2 answers)
A: AnswerThank you for your question about this HP laptop! It is good for games such as Minecraft and Roblox. For games like the Sims, they would require a dedicated graphics card. HP offers the Victus gaming laptops in Best Buy stores. These are gaming laptops that are affordable and will play the more graphics-intensive games like The Sims 4.Answered by HP Team

Amazing for its value!
Bought this for my mom for Christmas. She was here visiting from Mexico. Easy to set up, add language and download apps and connect to the network. It was not fast so definitely take your time and read carefully to what you select.

Great purchase
Great laptop for work, I had some issues with the keyboard but a hard reset seemed to fix it. The battery does seem to drain pretty fast.
