Hello friends, I have a t4200 processor in my Compaq Presario CQ61-105ET model computer and I want to upgrade this processor. I want to replace my computer with one of the T9600-T9550 processors if appropriate, or with the T9300 processor if it is not. Can you help me. Because I will order from Aliexpressten and will not be refunded. Thank you very much for your help.

Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook's model series.
Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)
According to chapter 1 of the service manual, the best processor you can install would be the P8700.
In theory, the T9600 processor should work, but since it is not listed as a supported processor in the above manual, there would be some risk of it not working.
The CQ60 service manual indicates that the T9600 is a supported processor for the chipset your notebook has.
