A:AnswerNot from the factory. What you'd need to do is contact the Geek Squad at your nearest BestBuy and see what they'd charge for a full version of Windows 10 (if it's still available) and to have them install it.
A:AnswerHey Lizzz, this laptop recharges the battery up to 50% within 45 minutes when the system is off (using “shut down” command). It is recommended for use with the HP adapter provided with the notebook, and not recommended with a smaller capacity battery charger. After charging has reached 50% capacity, charging speed will return to normal speed. Charging time may vary +/-10% due to System tolerance.
As with all batteries, the maximum capacity of any battery included in the HP Hardware Product will decrease with time or use, and the battery cycle life will vary depending on product model, configuration, loaded applications, features, use, wireless functionality, and power management settings.
A:AnswerHello prof2000 and thank you for asking. According to the specifications for the HP 14-ek0073dx laptop from HP Support, the USB-C port is a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port. The USB-A port is a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port.
A:AnswerApologies for what you're experiencing. If your Smart Pin power adapter supplied with the laptop is connected and your laptop is not charging, please reach out to Support.HP.com or call 800-474-6836 for assistance.
A:AnswerThank you for the question. Yes, but as the HP Pavilion 14-ek0073dx comes in Windows 11 S Mode, you'll most likely need to convert it to Windows 11 Home. We suggest that you review the course's system requirements to ascertain if this model complies.
A:AnswerIt does have a built-in microphone and Windows 11 has speech to text options. You can turn it on by pressing the Windows logo key + H. You would just have to pick which software you want to use to make the notes with and to send them. If you get an Office 365 subscription with the unit, you can use OneNote or Microsoft Word and then just attach the file to an email later.
A:AnswerThank you for the question. No, the RAM in the 14-ek0073dx is onboard (soldered to the motherboard). The hybrid architecture of the 12th-generation i5 processor handles RAM differently than generation processors, invoking performance cores and efficiency cores to multi-task within background and foreground workloads simultaneously.
A:AnswerThe version of this laptop I got from Best Buy does not have the sliding switch to put a physical screen in front of the camera. I believe this is the case for this version of the laptop for Best Buy. You can disable the camera in Settings, if you wish.
