A:AnswerOn the hard drive:
I was able to upgrade the M.2 drive to the PNY 1TB drive with no issues. There is an empty bay for a 2.5" SATA ssd also. I used the SanDisk 1TB internal ssd and with a simple change in the BIOS, it works perfectly.
Memory:
There is one empty slot for memory. The PNY PC4-19200 8GB worked with no issues.
Hope this helps.
A:AnswerYes I have played World of Warcraft and the visuals were phenomenal. Just be sure to get an external hard drive for this laptop because World of Warcraft these days takes up a lot of space and for a gaming laptop this computer does not have that much space.
A:AnswerYes, this HP laptop will run Anno 1800 as well as CAD and other BIM software. The graphics card and processor contribute ample power. For serious multitaskers, the memory may introduce a bit of lag, but additional memory would resolve that issue.
A:AnswerFor this laptop, it should be able to run that simulator just fine. I read that those could use up to 256 MB of space. Make sure that your video drives get updated. I just purchased my laptop last week and needed to update the NVIDIA video drivers just to play Call of Duty Warzone and had to buy an external hard drive to hold all of my games. The storage space is very limited, so if the simulator is all you are doing then great but if you intend on placing more on this laptop then get an external hard drive. Hope this helps!
A:AnswerHi Teddy, if you right-click on the desktop you will see a drop-down menu pop up. At the bottom of that list you will see an option that says personalize. Once you click that option, you will see all the different options to change the background on your computer.
A:AnswerI purchased this to play Minecraft with it will run basic Minecraft flawlessly but however when it comes to modded Minecraft you will need to add in my memory witch is cheap on Newegg and if you know what ur doing can turn this laptop into a beast gaming rig
A:AnswerNo, this laptop cannot handle those games. The games require a better discrete graphics card like the AMD Radeon RX 580 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti.
