Can I change my processor? HP Pavilion 15

[VZLAWolf]

I would like to change the processor of my laptop for a more powerful one, but I don't know if I can do it, or if I need to change some additional hardware or what cpus are compatible. 

I currently have the stock  i7 5500U

Thanks 😄

Hi:

The processor is an integral part of the motherboard, and cannot be upgraded unless the motherboard is replaced with one listed in your notebook's service manual that may come with a better processor.

The cost of the motherboard alone (if you could even find one), would most likely exceed the cost you paid for the notebook.
