How to upgrade the RAM in your HP Chromebox

You just need a screwdriver, a new stick of RAM and 20 minutes to upgrade your HP Chromebox

Chromeboxes are a great inexpensive way to get another computer in the house, and with how often they go on sale you could get one for less than $150. Unfortunately if you go with the HP Chromebox you’re getting a desktop machine with just 2GB of RAM, and depending on what your plans are for it that’s not going to be enough.

Now this little micro-sized desktop isn’t made to be upgraded per se, but thankfully at least the RAM slot is easily accessible. If you’ve picked up an HP Chromebox and want to make the move from 2GB to 4GB of RAM, we have the guide for you. Read along and see our step-by-step instructions for the upgrade process.
