Can I change the mother board with different processor?

[Sarthak98]

Hi Community, 

The laptop got dead recently and my technician had advised previous time that if my laptop got dead next time, I need to change my motherboard as it has become very weak.

So, can I update my mother board with i5 or i7 processor? And I also have a m2 sata SSD, can I use that in the updated mother board?

Can you please share the part number if possible.

Hi:

See chapter 3 of your notebook's service manual for the list of supported motherboards with their HP part numbers.

When replacing the motherboard, a couple of things to note:

1. In order to not have to buy a new Windows license and product key, you must buy a motherboard with the part number suffix that ends in -601.

2. Pay particular attention to the different heat sink assemblies that may be required depending on the motherboard you select to replace yours with.
