Unsure this is the right place to ask, but setting up 4 "identical" ProBooks for three docks scattered around the place.

One' ProBook's a bit borked, but its I7 is heading into my original Cherry I5 ProBook at some point. Wondering if the ProBook will "just know" that it's been upgraded from I5 to I7 or if I'll need to tweak settings? Anybody got a guess at that?

Win10 - long up and running, but flaky. Right click no longer works in Firefox and that's utterly ICK!.
Ubuntu - Been up and running for a while, but current rev pales in comparison to the NetBook remix I loved in the back when on HP_Mini..
Mint - a bit nicer then Ubuntu as I've gotten used to Windows and it's fairly close, but several things to work out, SIGH!
Zorin - currently setting it up to see how it compares, supposedly a bit lighter than Mint?

Five ProBooks, four with no real issues.

HP ProBook 650 G1 - 16GB Max

Offhand, does anyone know of a newer, faster, higher memory ceiling ProBook backward compatible with the 650 docks? No joy last time I searched.
