Hi I have an old HP Notebook 14 with an i3-5005U @ 2GHz. Can I upgrade to a newer i3 or an i5? If yes then which versions exactly? Also, I am looking for a second 4 gb ram stick to match the one already inside. Please recommend one.

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