1. Remove the bottom plate

Disassembling this device is pretty straightforward. There are 7 Phillips-head screws you need to remove and five of them will remain attached to the bottom panel after they are unscrewed. Then pry your way around the panel and lift the plate away.

2. Battery

As you can see, the ProBook 430 G7 shares the same 45Wh battery with its 14 and 15-inch brothers.

3. Memory and storage

When it comes to the upgradability, though, you can see that this laptop has a lot to offer. Even though we are talking about a 13-inch notebook, you can put up to 32GB of DDR4 memory in dual-channel mode. Additionally, there is an M.2 slot for NVMe drives, and you can put a 2.5-inch SATA storage drive.
