Hello @k0un7 

 

Most all HP laptops do not come with removable CPU's like desktop does. They are hard soldered into the motherboard.

It would not be worth the cost to have the motherboard replaced either.

 

If your laptop is not performing the way you need it to, You might consider selling it and putting that money towards a new upgraded system. Thats the best I can offer.
