A:AnswerThank you for reaching out. This computer would work well for those tasks. If you would not be doing much else, particularly gaming or HD video editing, this would work good for you.
A:AnswerThank you for reaching out. This computer would be excellent at streaming movies. If you would primarily be doing that and web browsing then this could be an awesome fit for you.

A:AnswerThe RAM is not soldered to the motherboard. It has one slot and can be upgraded to a max 8GB RAM (you would have to remove the 4GB stick and replace it with an 8GB stick).
A:AnswerYes, it will work well for Roblox and Minecraft, however if your son will want to broaden their horizons, this computer could not handle games like Fortnite.
A:AnswerYou could upgrade the RAM or Hard drive but the main thing that would upgrade the performance is the CPU and it cannot be replaced. Also currently the cost for RAM is very high right now so it would likely be better to exchange it for another model which already has these upgrades complete.
A:AnswerThank you for reaching out. Your current model and this model would run very similarly so there would be little reason to upgrade. This computer would run Minecraft but it would hesitate at running mods or even larger maps. Even stepping up a bit to the HP 15-BS113DX (SKU: 6181603) would give you nearly double the power of what your current model gives you. If you are on a tight budget, it is likely you could upgrade your current computer to get some extra speed out of it. Upgrading the RAM to 8GB and the Hard drive to a new Solid State Drive with a clean install of Windows would really help get your current model to its best shape.
