Product: HP ProBook 450 G7
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I read the previous post and tried to buy the hardware kit but the HP Store, and other resellers, don't have it. and it looks pretty simple, too, i.e., a SATA connector with ribbon and a cover. I have a wrecked 450 G1, BTW, but am not sure if there are parts in it that are adaptable. Note: I did find a company located in Germany that would sell me the actual kit for a little over $90 and that wasn't air express!! Suggestions welcome... the sooner the better!

 

I'm waiting to open the computer until I know I can actually do the 2.5" (1TB SSD) upgrade. The HP techs I've been talking to tell me that the parts (the kits) have to be ordered - they tell me there are other HP kits that would fit but, right now, they''re all back ordered. And these are new model ProBooks, too!

The part number from the HP tech, so far, are HP L78776-001 (in the service & maintenance guide), L45094-001 &  L45781-001. The 2nd two are compatible. HP has all three on back order.
