Awesome! Thank you so much! I'm a 2nd year IT undergrad student & need to upgrade my storage as I have less than 3GB left even after deleting EVERYTHING! Do I need to wear the static wrist strap or mat?? After 2 years of IT studies, we only work on desktops so far. So I am unsure about laptops & can't really find any helpful info on Google. Thanks!

Great decision for the IT study. Yes, if you wan't to be 100% sure, a static wrist strap is recommended and disconnect the battery and charger of course before working on the laptop. And you are welcome.

Thank you so much, it was super useful! Can I upgrade RAM to 32 gb with two SO-DIMM DDR4 16Gb PC25600 3200Mhz Kingston Fury Impact (KF432S20IBK2/32)? I heard that KCP432SD8/16 or KCP432SS8/16 are better for HP, does it realy matter? Thank you!

There is no cmos battery in this model. To reset it: 1. Unplug the laptop 2. Unplug the internal battery 3. Press and hold the power button for 1minute and release. Plug in the power adapter without the battery and try to start the laptop. If it doesn't start, you have another problem, not the bios. Good luck
