@Khaled20,

 

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

 

Your HP Pavilion x360 - m3-u103dx (W2L18UA) according to: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c05226489.pdf, can be fitted with the faster Intel Core i7-7500U (2.70 GHz up to 3.50GHz in Turbo mode) processor, but because the processor is an integral part of the system (mother) board, you would have to replace the system board (HP p/n: 903240-601), such as this $165 purchase example via eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/394216285966?hash=item5bc91f270e:g:NkYAAOSwxN1jCPe2&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoJ....

Because this is not a straight (identical) system board replacement, you may have to purchase a new Windows license.

 

Hope this was helpful.

 

Kind Regards,

@Khaled20,

 

You are very welcome -the requested upgrades can be done, but the system board is kind of pricey. If you were to go ahead with these upgrades, changing your HDD to an SSD (if you haven't done so already) would also increase your laptop's performance.

 

On the other hand, say, if gaming is on your mind, perhaps the time has come to consider purchasing a new(er), faster laptop.

 

Good luck!

 

Kind Regards,
