Product: 14 cm0011ax laptop
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Can i change the cpu and gpu of my old laptop the 14 cm0011ax? I just don't want it to go to waste. I was just thinking that maybe i can turn it into a gaming gear.

Hi:

 

The CPU and GPU are integral parts of the motherboard, and cannot be changed unless the motherboard is replaced with one listed in your notebook's service manual that may come with better graphics.  You probably would also need to buy a different heat sink.

 

The cost of the parts alone (if you could find them), would most likely exceed the cost you originally paid for your notebook.
