Product: HP ProBook 4545s Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

I have a Model 4545s probook   Hard drive HGST  HTS  HTS725050A7E630 

I would like to upgrade the hard drive and ram.  It only has 4 gb ram. 

I want to upgrade the hard drive to 1TB SSD.

I would like to upgrade the ram to as much as it can take.

 

I have been looking at the Samsung 870 EVO SSD.

 

Is this a good choice or is their something better i should use?

 

I would like suggestions on ram please.

 

After I upgrade the hard drive and the ram I will be upgrading the operating system.

 

Would this ram work?

Hi @dhgasman 

 

Yes, you can replace the HDD with an SSD of the size and brand you want. The memory is also compatible

How much ram can I install?

 

Is the Samsung 870 Evo the one you would use or do you think something else would be better?

8 GB of ram maximum, the SSD is a good brand, Crucial, ADATA etc. ... in fact almost all are the same, buy the one that gives you the best guarantee.
