I have seen on some of the HP models you can upgrade the grahics on them. Can you do so with this model?

I never did, but I would ask HP or someone like Best Buy or Frys. The AMD Radion Card is quite impressive. I use MS Flt Sim a lot that requires great graphics n a fast processor. I got both with model

No, You will have to upgrade it. Most impressive machine I have owned. As fast as it is huge.

You can't. Laptops are incredibly hard to upgrade. If you want something you can upgrade, then get a desktop. Laptop is meant for portability.

I don't know but I would Imagine HP would be able to sell one to you or tell you who sells them. Good luck.

I haven't done it yet but see no reason that wouldn't allow you to. I plan to add more ram to the one I own. As for upgrading the OS that shouldn't be any issue either.

Thanks for the info in re do-it-yourself upgrading to 2GB. I have a HP 210-1040 NR and would like to try an upgrade but would need at least basic instructions before I opened up my computer. Are such available, as far as you know? Thanks.

I'm sorry, but I cannot answer your questions. I would get in touch with HP and ask your question.

There can be an issue when upgrading to a larger HD for an HP Laptop. Computer did not recognize the new HD. I needed some assistance in getting around this issue from a Geek in order to finish the install. I recall that he did something with the bios in order to recognize the new HD, but don't recall what was done. It worked out okay and I'm happy with the new HD. Good luck.

Though I haven't tried, I'm sure you can. The only upgrade I've made was to add a 500W power supply.

I upgraded the memory to 8 gb. It was not easy. I had to practically take the whole laptop apart. Took about 2 hours. Then again, I am not an IT guy. If you know someone who knows what they are doing, should be easy. Just make sure to get memory specific to this specific HP envy.

I asked HP that very thing... only answer I could get was; "You may upgrade the RAM, processor, and the graphics card after the warranty expires." HP also told me that this version could not be upgraded to using an SSD and would require different mother board. That makes me worry that you might need to also change out the mother board to go to better processor as well. Perhaps same board will go to i5 but not i7 ?? I was not able to get direct answer from HP on that. BluRay player would not work well with this lower resolution 1600x900 video output of i3 with Intel 2500 video. With i5 and i7 you can get into their 4000 and 4600 onboard video that goes to full HD. Or even add a separate video card to get there... but even though this is sold as a "desktop" it is really built with notebook/laptop parts so limited in that respect for upgrades after warranty period. FYI... you CAN get this model in "customized" version and have it built as you want to... price climbs quickly. BUT... even a couple hundred dollars more and you get much better PC.

Yes, you can. I have the HP 110-1132 by Studio Tord Boontje and I did it myself.

Yes, as long as you know what you are doing. There are limits due to the slim design but upgrades are available as far as video cards and others. If anyone decides to upgrade just take it to someone or youtube it

Mine came with 8.1 pre-installed. There was minimal updating required. I believe this is because 8.1 has been out for a while now (long enough for HP to update its pre-installed software).

RAM can be upgraded in this PC. Check out nice video on HP.com for how to replace memory. It perfectly make sense to double your RAM if you need to keep multiple applications running.Though this PC is not designed for major upgrades, like one could do with elephant size desktops, you can make changes to certain parts such as RAM, hard drive, PCI-e cards, etc.

No you cannot. It is very rare to find any laptop that can be upgraded in terms of processor and/or graphics card. Only desktops have that privilege.
