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 chapter 3 of your notebook's service manual that may come with a better processor.
The costs associated with performing such an upgrade would come close to what you originally paid for the notebook, making such an upgrade a poor return on investment.
