Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello am I able to upgrade the processor in my laptop?

And if so to what?

IE. How do I know which processor will fit/work?

 

I found a service guide  it lists processors as a replacable part ( but I am not 100% its the correct one)

Info:

Windows 10 64 bit

HP Pavilion 17 Notebook PC      

Product number E8B85UAR#ABA

Current processor AMD A10-5750m APU with Radeon HD graphics 2.5 ghz 
Installed ram 12gb (came with 8gb) (most likely irrelevant info but may help with identifying product) 

 

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

 

Yes that is the correct service manual. Your PC HP Pavilion 17-e187nr supports the AMD processors listed on page 85 of service manual. As you can see you already have the most powerfull processor available, so an upgrade will not be possible.

 

Hope it helps,

David
