Hi guys, I got this laptop for cheap from a friend it runs pretty decent however i'd like to play wow on it even if it means putting the settings down to low... however I was wondering what is actually upgradeable on this lappy? ram? cpu? gpu? i've had a good look on google but its been a while since i've even used a laptop so i'm abit lostany help would be appreciated!

The RAM, HDD & CPU should all be the easiest to upgrade. The GPU, you are stuck with since its soldered to the motherboard.
HP has service manual online which should detail the steps required to dismantle the laptop to access the cpu. The HDD and RAM should be more easily accessible from panels underneath the laptop.
