I want to upgrade my processor
this is my mother board specs site
https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05951583?jumpid=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0001
this says that only 2 processors are compatible because of the specs,
TDP: up to 15 W
Socket type: BGA1356
but,
https://www.intel.in/content/www/in/en/products/processors/core/i7-processors/i7-8650u.html
this core is suitable in these specs.
it was just released after the page of the motherboard was made.
can I use this i7 on my pc?

@jaikrit_2006 , welcome to the forum.
HP has their motherboards made to their specifications. Therefore, they are not necessarily the same as a retail board. Each motherboard is used in many different models with many different specifications. The motherboards are made to work within that model and configuration. Therefore, the only processors that have been fully tested to be compatible with your motherboard are the ones in the section titled "Processor upgrade information". Any other processor will most likely not work.
