What is the minimum specs for a computer to play and edit 4k video? I have a 7 year old HP Envy Phoenix 810-135ge, I7 4th gen processor, 16 gb ram. Nvidia Ge Force GTX 770 video card. What can I do to upgrade this computer to work or do I need to buy a new computer?
Thanks in advance.

IMO it doesn't make sense to upgrade a 7 year old computer when you can get a new one rather inexpensively. You could spend money to upgrade what you have, but there are no guarantees how long it will continue to carry on.

My favorite place for computers is Micro Center in Chicago. While I can just drive there you can purchase mail-order as well. I have been super lucky with "open box" computers that I've pretty much stolen that compares with other computer two or three times what I paid. Three years ago I got an Aliengear desktop for $800 that would have cost $1500. Last year I got an HP Envy laptop with 4k OLED screen and specs that beat my desktop for $1100 that I have hooked up to 27" monitor, keyboard mouse and USB hubs. Computers with similar specs wouldl have cost $2000+.

Here is a "ceritified refurb gaming computer for $800. 15 day return policy. How much would you have to spend to upgrade ram and video card? Not worth it IMO.

Thank you for the information. That was very helpful. I wasn't sure if it was just the computer processor or just out dated. I love the location description.
