HP Spectre x360 - 13-ap0000nx
Microsoft Windows 11

I was wondering if the CPU of a HP Spectre x360 Convertible 13-ap0xxx was soldered on the motherboard so that i could find a new CPU like an i7 intel CPU, so that my computer can run better, I was also gonna get some other stuff to upgrade it, but right now i need to know if it is soldered or not so that i can upgrade it.

The processor is an integral part of the motherboard.

 

The only way to upgrade the processor would be to replace the motherboard with one that is listed in chapter 3 of the service manual that may come with a better processor.

Thank you so much, I might print this so that whenever it needs service, i can do it myself, Instead of sending it to the repair shop. I read the whole chapter 3, I will try and find one, and maybe upgrade my storage. Thanks so much!
