A:AnswerThe HP Victa comes with an 8gb of RAM in it. There is a second slot that is 3mpty. You can add another 8gb stick or one 16gb stick to go along with the 8gb. Or you can remove the 8gb and add two 16gb. Or you can remove the 8gb and add one 32gb. Must be 4800mHz, DDR5. Max gb of RAM for this laptop is 32gb of RAM. If you add any more it will wear out the laptop faster as everything internally will need to work harder to support more than 32gb.
A:AnswerThank you for the question. For any software, you will want to look at the system requirements from the developer's website and make sure this meets the specifications for the settings you would like to use. Updates can change those requirements and that can affect what settings you use or impact if you can run it at all.
A:AnswerThank you for the question. Dual channel refers to RAM, not the HDD or SSD. Dual channel RAM is a configuration in which two identical RAM modules are installed in pairs on the motherboard. This laptop has an additional slot to add more RAM for a dual channel configuration. There is no slot to add an additional storage drive, but you can switch out the 512GB SSD for one with more capacity. We recommend that a professional technician perform any upgrades.

A:AnswerThank you for the question. The Victus 15-fb1013dx does not have Thunderbolt ports, but it does have USB-Type C - 5Gbps signaling rate, that supports HP Sleep and Charge. One of the two USB Type-A ports also supports Sleep and Charge.
