I have not heard of someone trying to upgrade quite in this fashion.

 

All of the system boards that will fit also have processors integrated into (soldered on) the system board.

 

The problem is that even the memory modules that you already have probably will not work.

 

Matching the display you already  have to the desired system board will also be difficult.

 

It will be more costly to do this than upgrading to a more capable laptop. 

 

If I were you I would consider upgrading to a  recent model  of certified refurbished ZBook. 

 

You can do that for around $300.00.

You will get more capability out of an older ZBook or Elitebook that you possibly could with an upgraded system board for your current laptop.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

 

Are you expecting one of us to guess which laptop you have? 

 

When you do not identify your desktop or laptop PC, you tie our hands behind our backs. Help us to help you.


When logged into Windows, hold down the Windows key and tap the R key once.
That will open the Windows run dialogue

Type in msinfo32 and press enter.


The ninth line is the SKU and the HP product number. Kindly post it in your next reply in your thread.

The System SKU/Product ID will enable us to determine the hardware configuration of your notebook.
