I want to upgrade my laptop HP 17 cn2063cl; definitely the RAM, probably the HD also.

Would the RAM and the SSD HD I have in my older HP ProBook 450G3 be compatible?

 

My online research says the HP17 cn2063 takes

32GB DDR4 PC4-25600 3200MHz SODIMM NON-ECC Unbuffered 260pin 1.2V CL22 Dual Rank
MemoryStock

 

and the HP ProBook 450G3 takes

8GB 2Rx8 DDR3 PC3L-12800 204pin CL=11 DDR3-1600 1.35V SODIMM
MemoryStock

The DDR3L-1600 memory would not fit in your 17-cn2063cl's notebook's memory slots.

 

The reason being it runs at a higher voltage than DDR4 memory, has a different number of contact pins and the notch in the memory board is cut in a different place than it is in a DDR4 memory chip.

 

The 17-cn2063cl comes with a 512 GB NVMe SSD and the 2.5" SSD will not work because your notebook is probably missing the drive cable and mounting hardware it would need to install in the 17-cn2063cl.
