A:AnswerHi Jacob. Yes it would run this gaming. This is not a gaming pc. While you can play some games on any computer, modern games like Minecraft, Fortnite and most other popular titles require a lot of power. For this reason, I would recommend a model with a dedicated Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) for PC gaming.
A:AnswerTechnically, yes, but it's not like it was in the past where you could just pop the battery out of the bottom of the computer. It requires some computer surgery to remove the back (and possibly other components) to get to the battery.
A:AnswerHello. Thanks for your question. This laptop comes with Windows 10 in S Mode. That means you can only install apps from the Microsoft Store and use the Microsoft Edge browser. To be able to install any software, you would need to switch out of the S Mode. You can switch out of S Mode for free.

A:AnswerAs on any device, quality streaming depends on your internet speed. I have not encountered any buffering on my device. I have Spectrum 75mbs internet.
A:AnswerYes, once you take this laptop out of S Mode you are not able to return to it. Windows 10 in S mode is a version of Windows 10 that's streamlined for security and performance, while providing a familiar Windows experience. To increase security, it allows only apps from the Microsoft Store, and requires Microsoft Edge for safe browsing.
A:AnswerHi Angie. You can use this laptop to edit video uploaded from a USB. Some software may require more RAM or a faster processor, so check the system requirements of the software you are using first.
A:AnswerYes, the internal memory can be upgraded. No, you do not need an external cooling pad. Yes a Geek Squad protection plan is available. This should be fine for running your Etsy store.
