This guide explains how to replace or upgrade the RAM in the HP ProBook 455 G7 (Model: 7JN02AV). The RAM (Random Access Memory) is responsible for short-term data processing and directly affects multitasking speed and system responsiveness.
Common symptoms of failing or insufficient RAM include freezing, programs not loading, blue screens, and overall slow performance. For more detail, see the “Performance Issues” section of the Troubleshooting Page.
Make sure the laptop is fully powered down and unplugged.
Handle RAM modules only by their edges and avoid touching the gold contacts.
If you’re upgrading, HP recommends matching the RAM’s speed, type, and voltage to your existing module.
