Q: QuestionHow many nvme SSD slots are inside this laptop?

Asked 1 year ago by Coeland.

• A:Answer There are 2 (two) NVMe slots, but one of them can only hold a 2230 form factor, and the other up to a 2280 form factor, which is the size of the m.2 that is installed already in the laptop. I would suggest that if you want more space, consider either buying a 2230 NVMe, which only supports up to 2TB, or purchasing a larger NVMe for the 2280 slot and keeping the 1TB drive in your desk. Or, you could sell or give the 1TB away to a friend or on eBay.

Q: QuestionCan I turn off AI tools on this computer and fully disable Copilot? I want to fully disable AI "features" because they are intrusive.

Asked 4 months ago by computer.

• A:Answer It’s a bit tricky though, might need multiple steps. For sure disable “recall”. If somebody hacks that they get screen shots of everything you did. Most importantly never create a Microsoft account when you first configure it. If you already did, too late, Microsoft now owns the PC you just paid for, and they encrypt your data and own the decrypt password. The other Copilot features are innocuous but just overhead. Nothing wrong with AI (half my software career was in AI) but Microsoft corruption leaves the Microsoft stench on AI.

Q: QuestionDoes HP's warranty apply on Open Box models on best buy?

Asked 5 months ago by Neil.

• A:Answer Yes, always, but there are some caveats depending on the item's history. For example, if it was sold and returned, the warranty normally starts from the FIRST date of purchase. This means that if it sat in a warehouse for six months, you might only get a six month warranty. However, there is help on this: most manufacturers (not sellers) will reset the initial date of the warranty if you contact them and present proof of your purchase date. I think this was all spelled out somewhere on the BB website, but I can't remember where, so I may be misremembering, or it might have been removed.
