Hello.  I have a pavilion dv7-6175us entertainment laptop and I really want to upgrade the processor  instead of buying a new laptop because its very difficult to sell the one I have for enough to make it cost effective to do that.  Is it possible to upgrade the processor on this laptop? and if so  which processors could I upgrade to with this model?  thank you for any info.  josh

I will edit this shortly. I have no idea why your images appear when editing but not elsewhere.

Please post the product name. Remove the battery and you should see it inside the battery compartment.

Sweet.  Looks like I can really bump the CPU performance.  Thanks again.

 

Do you know if I can update the GPU?

That is I really am asking if it is possible to just replace the processor without harming anything on or in the laptop. And if there is anything I would have to replace with the cpu in order for this to work and again not mess anything up on my computer.

That will depend on your technical ability. Notebooks are notoriously difficult to modify for the average person. People who ask the questions you see here in this thread generally have the level of ability that it takes and accept the risk of damage to their laptop as their own. If you don't have the confidence to do it, then pay someone else to do the job properly.

I have never known anyone to ask before. It is probably not very likely but possible. I would expect it to be quite expensive to have it done by HP. The selection of the processor in a notebook PC is done during the purchase process. That is why some notebooks are designated CTO (configured to order).

 

HP does not do CPU upgrades at it's Service Centers..
