@SurgingIO , welcome to the forum.

 

Here  is the Maintenance and Service Guide for the laptop.  In Chapter 4, Removal and replacement procedures,  Pages 77 thru 79, lists the compatible processors and gives instructions on how to replace them.  You will only be able to use the AMD processors.  The Intel processors are for a different version of your motherboard.

 

Please click the Thumbs up + button if I have helped you and click Accept as Solution if your problem is solved.
