Hi,

 

Did you know upgrading AMD APU you may also need to upgrade the motherboard that that is a costly upgrade ? In many case, buying a new machine could be cheaper.

 

Regards.

Confirming, yes the processor is soldered to the system (mother) board so upgrade is not really economically viable. If you just want it to run faster, consider a solid state drive. Not an easy upgrade, either but far less costly than a new laptop.
