General question - does opening up a new laptop for this kind of upgrade invalidate the guarantee?

Good question on guarantee on anything else it would but on computers we have been opening our desktops for decades to add components and upgrade and I never heard of guarantee problem.

Desktops - agree, kind of their raison d'être.

Bit different to cracking open a laptop - didn't/don't they have anti-tamper one-time seals/screws so that they can go "Ah-ha!" when you try and return it?

I've never seen a tamperproof screw on a laptop memory cover or a hard drive slot.
Cracking open the case might be different.

SSD & memory are normally considered user replaceable/upgradeable parts on HP laptops so won't affect warranty.

Even when such replace/upgrade needs the case to be opened (there being no separate covers or slots for SSD/RAM)?
