    1. Yes you can upgrade to the 4k, HOWEVER, i do NOT recommend it unless you are very brave. The process to find a screen to work with this 2016 hp omen 15t laptop is very difficult, i have tried, because i wanted to(the 1080p sucks), but to no luck. If you are not brave enough or are a beginner with computers DO NOT TRY THIS. Go to a local repair or domputer shop and have them do it.
