Hp Probook 450 G2 Ssd Support

[Ilse Marseau]

Pleasecould you tell me the maximum ram supported by the HP Probook 450 G2 P5S40ES#ABU? I'm thinking of buying it on Amazon but it only has 4gb. I'd like to upgrade at a later time but there is no way of knowing what the maximum is. I tried to find out what the motherboard was so I could figure it out myself but this is not listed in the manual, drivers section, any review sites I could find. Manuals do no suggest any details about upgrades as far as I could tell.

Thanks for the information, so it supports 16gb basically which is exactly what I wanted to hear. Seriously considering this one now. I'm just a little concerned over the graphical performance as it has no dedicated card. Although the reviews suggest a pretty good graphical performance anyway.

I have a ProBook 4520s which I needed to upgrade to Windows 10. After this update, the HDMI putput (which is vital to my work) stopped working and also a number of other things stopped functioning. Browsing through the forum and the web, I came to the realisation that it is HP to blame for not having drivers that would work with the Windows 10 O/S. This is frustrating to say the least. I am posting this, in hope that someone in HP blushes out of shame and perhaps the company puts some resources into helping its customers that got trapped into a similar situation.

You upgraded to Windows 10 apparently without trying to figure out in advance how you were going to get critical system components working. By doing so you likely burned your bridge behind you as the restore partition to put back Windows 7 is likely gone. You might be able to roll back to Windows 7 if you have had Windows 10 for less than 30 days.

Everything should work on W10 for your notebook by using the W7 drivers, with the exception of perhaps the webcam and fingerprint reader--which is why HP won't support models built before August of 2013 for W10. Some devices simply will not work.

No it is not a fancy brick....it could have kept on going just fine with Windows 7...but as @Paul_Tikkanen said you are going to have to use the Windows 7 video driver and probably need to force install it (sounds worse than it is) or at a minimum run the installer .exe as administrator in compatibility mode.

If you have Intel video download the softpaq above to desktop and right click on it and select properties/compatibility. Select run as administrator and run in Windows 7 compatibility. It may install. If not it will at least unzip to the hard drive and we can walk you through force install.

I want to drive multiple older projectors so my first choice would be to use the VGA and HDMI connectors. I suspect I would have to buy an adapter to use the DP/USB-C connector but that wouldn't be a show-stopper.

My personal experience is that two external monitors are natively supported in addition to the ProBooks own screen. With a display (older monitor, or a data projector) connected to the VGA port and a HDMI monitor connected to the HDMI port all screens are available.

- text display is our main intended use, especially for the Back of House display. At this point no testing has been done with video usage, but no problems are anticipated for its usage with the Front of House display

- in my testing the VGA port and the USBC port could not both be used at the same time. With a VGA monitor connected and turned on, a HDMI monitor using a USBC adaptor could not be detected/function. But it worked fine with the VGA monitor disconnected

The external monitor identification number, presumably assigned by Windows, can change? When it does the Presenter software sends FOH and BOH to the wrong devices. Maybe the startup and order of device connection is important?

Does the ProBook 440 G9 support Multi-Stream Transport (MST)? If not, is there any way to enable daisy chaining via the thunderbolt 3 port? If yes, is there a prerequisite to enable daisy chaining? I have a pair of Benq monitors that support daisy chaining, but I cannot seem to daisy chain them off of the ProBook 440 G9.

Therefore I plan to make a full backup of the m.2 nvme with a software for example macrium reflect and restore it to the new SSD. I have lot of experience in doing this at other notebook models, so i think I am familiar with such progress. But i already did it only with Sata SSDs in 2" format. But i think the prosedure with a m.2 ssd is the same if I have a m.2 to usb converter or a housing for external ssd with m.2 2280 pcie slot, right?

For example I plan to install a Lexar NM620 m.2 2280 with 2TB with interface: PCIe 3.0x4 with protocoll NVMe 1.4. Read up to 3300MB/s write 3000MB/s SLC-cached. Does anyone know if the notebook support this SSD?

If you run the free Crystaldiskmark software and you get somewhere near the advertised speeds (1,700 read/1,300 write) of the SN520 as reported on the first line, then your notebook has a PCIe Gen 3 x 4 slot.

Your only limit on SSDs is going to be the fact that your M.2 NVME slot is PCIe Gen 3.0 so if you use a very recent 4th gen model it will run as if it were a 3rd gen. The SSD you ask about is a PCIE 3.0 device so should run to its full capability.

I only ask because I started this question already on another forum.And there was a member that reply that Probooks has a Bioslock and you can only replace SSD with stock SSDs and not with any SSD that is available on the free market.

So do you think the response in the other forum is not right. I hear the first time that notebook manufacturers make restrictions for upgrade ssd. I first thought maybe it is something about the TPM2.0 Modul that it is neccesary to accieve the trusted state of a device but i dont know.

I have a "hp probook 4520s" two years now. I desided to upgrade the hdd with a SSD [Samsung 840 Pro-500gb ]. What i notised was that the ssd reads and writes with the half speed (250MB/s instead of 500MB/s). I installed "Samsung Magician" (Samsung's utility for ssd optimizing and motitoring) on my laptop. The above utility indicated that i have done all the necessary OS tunning (TRIM, power optimazing etc), but there was one message: "Your system does not support a SATA 6 Gb/s (SATA 3) port" (see the image below). I think that HP ProBook 4520s supports "SATA 6 Gb/s". My questions are: (1) Does ProBook supports SATA 6 Gb/s? (2) If not, can i upgrade the hardware/software to support "SATA 6 Gb/s" and how?

Hello. I want to upgrade the internal hard disk for my HP Probook G4 as the notebook has become extremely slow even after upgrading the RAM . Can someone please let me know if "Crucial MX500 500GB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-inch 7mm (with 9.5mm adapter) Internal SSD" will be compatible with my device?

Thanks a lot @NonSequitur777 for the quick response. Just one more small question. What does this section mean exactly? Does it mean that the notebook will support upto 500GB SATA SSD and 256 M.2 2280 SSD only? The reason I am asking is because the notebook originally came with a 1 TB Toshiba MQ01ABD100 storage preinstalled and this 500 GB description text is actually confusing.

Instead of Crucial P2 500GB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD, I ordered the SAMSUNG 980 SSD 500GB PCle 3.0x4, NVMe M.2 2280 from Amazon but it just won't fit. I took a pic of the motherboard SSD slot for the notch and it looks like ideally it should but it wont go through and I am afraid I might break the SSD if I apply too much pressure to push it in. Apart from this problem, Samsung didn't even provide a screw to bolt it in (if it actually went in).

Thanks again for the quick response. Guess I will return the NVMe SSD and get a NGFF one, but looking at the pic shared, will the notebook really support 512 GB NGFF SSD? Because the screenshot shared shows that only 256 GB/128 GB are supported but no mention of a 512 GB SSD. Just want to double check and not mess up again.
