Elitebook 850 G2
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have the Elitebook 850 G2.  i5 5200U processor.  I would like to know if I can upgrade the CPU to the most powerful mobile CPU version for broadwell  i7-5600u that HP includes in the 850 G2 lineup by simply purchasing the CPU and dropping it in...or...Having to purchase a separate board/cpu combo.

 

Thanks for your help.
