Hello, I found a processor that's way stronger than my current laptops, but I don't know anything about changing laptop parts so I don't know what to do.
Is it possible for me to change the processor for a better one? I need a reply as soon as I can because I'm probably heading out to buy the processor today if I can change it. Username Estimable. Mar 21, 32 0 4, 6. It is possible to upgrade the CPU on some laptops, but you'll need to hunt down a specific mobile processor for it. Laptops are far more picky than desktop PCs about such upgrades. It's a fiddly process, and depends on a couple of factors: whether the CPU is fixed to the chipset with adhesive or had the pin welded to the socket, and whether it's accessible and can therefore be removed and replaced.
I don;t think the processor you selected id compatible tho. Laptops are created on jigs special frames that ensure all parts fit snugly and correctly each time one is created. Manually opening up a laptop and doing anything more technical than swapping hard drives or adding more RAM isn't the easiest of processes and will almost certainly invalidate your warranty.

A good way to keep things organized is to use paper cups to hold the screws—one cup for each step of disassembly—and label each cup clearly. Remove the display assembly—the entire apparatus of the screen—by taking out the screws on the bottom and back of the portable, and unplugging the video and Wi-Fi antenna cables pictured.
Next, pull out the optical drive; this usually means depressing the latch on the bottom of the laptop and sliding the drive out sideways. Remove the upper shell by taking the screws holding it out of the bottom of the PC.
As you lift the shell off of the chassis, make certain that no part of it is still attached to the bottom of the case or to the motherboard. If it feels like you have to force it, that probably means either a screw is still in place or a clip remains to be unsnapped. Before continuing, back off and double-check your service manual to discover any well-hidden screws that may have eluded you.

Your computer's motherboard is essentially one large circuit board which provides the base into which you'll plug your computer's other components, including the processor.
Since processors' sizes and connectors vary depending on the model, you will need to ensure that your selected processor works with your current motherboard. Know your computer's limitations. While you can upgrade virtually all Windows desktop processors and motherboards, upgrading a laptop's processor is often impossible; even if your laptop model supports changing the processor, doing so is a tricky process that is more likely to harm your computer than help it. Find your computer's motherboard model.
While you can use Command Prompt to find your motherboard's basic information, using a free service called Speccy will allow you to see vital information about your motherboard e. Determine the type of processor socket used by your motherboard. If you're using Speccy to find your motherboard's information, you'll click the CPU tab and look at the "Package" heading to determine the socket.
You can click the Motherboard tab and then review the "Chipset" heading to see your processor's chipset, though the service you'll use to check processor compatibility usually determines this for you. If you decided not to use Speccy, you can enter your motherboard's name and model number, followed by "socket" and "chipset", into a search engine and search through the results.
Alternately, you can almost always find the socket type listed on the motherboard around the cpu socket. Find processors which match your motherboard.
Click the Choose Socket drop-down box, then select your motherboard's socket number. Click the Choose Chipset drop-down box, then click chipset number usually, there is only one number here. Find a new motherboard to match your processor if necessary.
Click the Choose Processor Series drop-down box, then select your processor's name. Click the Choose Model drop-down box, then click your processor's model. Buy your processor. Now that you know which processors will work with your computer's motherboard, you can select the one best-suited to your price range, computational needs, and region.
Always shop around to find the best deal. You may be able to find the same processor for significantly less online than in a store. If you're buying a new motherboard as well, make sure you compare different website and store prices before ordering it.
Part 2. Turn off and unplug your computer. Before you move or open up your computer, make sure that it is both turned off and unplugged from any power sources. Place your computer on its side. Doing so will give you access to the PC's side panel. Remove the side panel. Some cases will require you to unscrew the side panel, while other cases only need you to unclamp or slide off the side panel.
Ground yourself.
