Windows 10: New Laptop PC: HP (Hewlett-Packard) 255 G7

Friday, May 1st, I get to order my new Laptop "Portable Workstation". It is an HP (Hewlett-Packard) 255 G7. It comes with 4 GB of RAM as standard and a 156 GB SSD. Those 2 will be upgraded. I will upgrade the base RAM to 8 GB unless you all say it's okay to upgrade it to 16 GB as it's compatible up to 16 GB.

As I was reading the specs, I noticed that it is compatible with a hard drive or an ssd. But HP's website looks like it could both have them in it at the same time. I will attach the website link for the specifications to the thread so that you all can see if that's true or not.

I probably won't be doing strenuous tasks (heavy photo editing) like I do on my desktop, but I will be doing some. I am really excited.

A lot of you have asked why I like HP. It's because I already have an HP Desktop, so it's best just to have them linked together through HP's configuration. It's a part of my OCD.

HEWLETT PACKARD and Windows Updates

With certain Windows 10 Updates, a restart or restarts are required at some point or points through the installation process.
Often, during installation of these updates, my screen goes blank (not BLACK), and then nothing further happens.
At this point I am guessing that a proper shutdown and restart is not going to happen, so I do a hard restart, sometimes this works, sometimes not.
So my question is - - - Why does my HP Laptop not do a proper restart during these required updates?

Is anyone from HEWLETT PACKARD monotoring this site?
Does anyone from HEWLETT PACKARD have a fix for this? Does anyone from HEWLETT PACKARD care?
I guess that is four questions I have asked!

Currently I have Microsoft Windows 10 Version 1709 (OS Build 16299.192)

on an HP G62-220CA Notebook

 

HP Printer fails to communicate and print after Microsoft updated Windows 10, version 1809 and Hewlett Packard USB driver on May 23, 2019

I tried much of what you suggested but I wasn't able to cleanly remove all existing HP drivers for my HP Photosmart 8150 printer. Once the USB connection to my printer was unplugged, most HP files no longer were visible on my PC. At age 81 and without
any computer training, I believe that the problem comes from the Hewlett Packard - USB - 8/13/2012 12:00:00AM - 7.0.0.25 driver update file that Microsoft installed on my computer on 5/23/2019. Prior to that update, everything seemed OK on my PC, even after
28 Quality updates to Windows 10, version 1809, since 2/24/2019. I would try uninstalling the Hewlett Packard - USB - update but, in my "View Update History" list, the Hewlett Packard - USB - update is "grayed out" and I can't select it to uninstall it.
At this moment, only my HP Photosmart 8150 printer, connected by USB cable, is unusable. My Epson SureColor P400 printer, also connected to my PC by USB cable, worked as of yesterday. Also, a Canon MG5220 printer/copier/scanner, connected by WiFi wireless
connection, works fine as of yesterday evening. I need help in uninstalling the questionable Hewlett Packard USB update sent by Microsoft. Without help, my only solution seems to be to trash my HP printer, reliable for nearly 9 years, and start fresh with
something else.
