Hi:

Unfortunately, there aren't any parts you can use from the 430 G2 in your 14-ce3021ur.

The memory in the 430 G2 is DDR3L-1600 which runs at a lower voltage than the DDR4-2666 MHz memory your 14-ce3021ur has.

The memory wouldn't even fit in the memory slot because the notch in the DDR3 memory is cut in a different place than the notch in the DDR4 memory, making it impossible to fit in the 14-ce3021ur's memory slot.

Thanks, what about Hard drive. The Hard drive in the 430 G2 is  500GB 5400 rpm SMART SATA Hybrid HDD/SSHD

You're very welcome.

You would have to measure the thickness of the drive in the 430 G2 or google the drive part number to make sure that it is no more than 7.2 mm thick. If it is 9.5 mm thick as many of the drives were back then, it won't fit.

You would have to buy and install the parts necessary to add a 2.5" drive.

Chapter 3, page 41 of the manual lists those parts:

NOTE: The hard drive bracket is available using spare part number L19469-001

The hard drive cable is available using spare part number L19172-001

I don't know why you would want to add a power hungry, hot running, slow moving mechanical hard drive to your modern notebook, but I suppose that is none of my business.
