The Microsoft Surface Pro 7 has soldered LPDDR4x RAM (16GB (soldered)) which cannot be upgraded after purchase. Select the maximum RAM configuration when buying.

Important: Since the RAM is not user-replaceable, we recommend opting for at least 16GB at purchase to ensure adequate performance for years to come.


Storage Expansion

The Microsoft Surface Pro 7 uses an M.2 2230 NVMe SSD – however, iFixit reports the Surface Pro 7 SSD is soldered to the motherboard and not removable, so confirm before buying a replacement drive.

Recommended M.2 2230 SSDs:

  • WD SN740 2230 NVMe — Reliable compact SSD for the 2230 form factor.
  • Samsung PM991a 2230 — High-performance OEM SSD in compact 2230 size.
  • Kioxia BG5 2230 — Compact 2230 NVMe with good availability.

Note: iFixit reports the Surface Pro 7 SSD is soldered (unlike the Surface Pro 7+), so these drives are not a confirmed upgrade for this model.


Power Delivery & Charging

The Microsoft Surface Pro 7 uses a 65W Surface Connect charger. The Surface Connect charger is proprietary. USB-C PD charging is also supported on most recent Surface devices.


Port & Docking Capabilities

Connectivity: 1x USB-C, 1x USB-A, 1x Surface Connect, Type Cover port, microSDXC, 3.5mm jack

A USB-C docking station like the Anker 577 USB-C Hub provides additional ports including HDMI, Ethernet, and USB-A.


Upgrade Difficulty & Tools Required

The Microsoft Surface Pro 7 has a difficulty rating of 2/5 for upgrades (5 = easiest). The upgrade process is difficult — limited user-accessible components.

Tools needed:

  • Phillips screwdriver (M2.5 or similar)
  • Plastic spudger or pry tool (for bottom panel clips)
  • ESD wrist strap (optional but recommended)

We recommend backing up your data and consulting the official service manual before opening the chassis.
