The USB-C port doesn't support Alt mode nor Power Delivery. You cannot use it to:
1) Charge your laptop
2) Connect to an external monitor, whether direct or using hub/adapter
I bought a similar laptop (https://slickdeals.net/f/15946015-hp-laptop-i5-1135g7-17-3-ips-12gb-ddr4-1tb-hdd-refurbished-300-free-shipping) and the laptop ceased to function after 120 days. Laptop would refuse to charge or start.
I took it to a repair shop that had a motherboard technician and they told me it was a motherboard issue. They ran diagnostics on it and the motherboard was getting warm and had current running through it, but would not function properly. The motherboard for this laptop is the same as for this deal (https://www.impactcompu
The PC repair shop ordered one that was "open, but never used" as I speclate most of these boards come from refurbished laptops. It refused to work on my laptop. So, the repair shop ordered another one. That one also refused to work. I am currently on my third order.
If you check the Adorama reviews for my laptop, which also uses the same motherboard as this deal, someone else had the same issue where the laptop completely stopped working (https://www.adorama.com/r/ihp316h8uar-reviews).
Please don't purchase this product. It will be a lot of heartache just to have a functioning laptop for only 120 days. If you do purchase, get an extended warranty as you will most likely be trading one in for repair constantly.

Plug it into ethernet, put a NAS (on ethernet too) online, and you're gtg.

Having said that I got curious and looked up this allstate warranty thing and apparently if you try to actually use it you get the runaround

Having said that the laptop is selling at a steeply discounted price so there's that...
For persons looking to upgrade the ram or replace the hard drive here's some videos I found
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDqM8Xt
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_R27De
regarding what he says about needing to buy a new windows product key if you upgrade to a bigger ssd drive... an alternative would be to just use a program you can download for free like Macrium Reflect home version (has very good reviews from what I understand even for the free version) , create a bootable macrium usb thumb drive (there are macrium reflect tutorials on youtube that walk you through how to do this and how to use macrium reflect in general) , make sure you have a big enough external usb drive to store the macrium reflect image of windows on , and try restoring that image to the new ssd drive...
..if you're careful and purchase it from a retailer that has a great return policy (for example on amazon look for "shipped by amazon" and "free returns", walmart has a great return policy but check the seller and whether or not you can return the item in your local walmart store for a refund and so forth ) then worst case scenario if it doesn't work out just ship the m.2 drive back and say it was defective (which could very well be the case) back to the seller, amazon in the scenario I mentioned above will give you a prepaid return shipping label or you can just drop it off at your local ups store. Then plug the original m2 drive that came with the laptop back in.
M2 drives are selling a lot cheaper nowadays than they used to so I would argue it's definitely worth looking into.. and you really should have a usb external drive you're regularly backing windows up onto anyways for your laptop in case windows decides to stop working, you get one of those nasty hacker viruses that locks up your entire laptop, et cetera.
pretty sure you can switch out of S mode though the switch is permanent (totally worth it in my opinion)

One more thing worth noting, the advice here

On the one hand you can't argue with the price
