Change my laptop CPU

[OmegTubero]

Hello everyone I wanted to know if it was possible to change the CPU of my Pavillion G6 1347el I have already checked the motherboard and there is the possibility to remove the CPU but I want to ask just to be sure.

I also wanted to know if it is possible to increase the ram to 8gb

Hi:

According to the product specs for your notebook it comes with an Intel Pentium B960 Sandy Bridge processor. 

HP Pavilion g6-1347el Notebook PC Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

ManualsLib - Makes it easy to find manuals online!

Chapter 1 has the supported Sandy Bridge processors.

According to the manual, the best Sandy Bridge processor you can install would be the Intel® Core™ i7-2620M.

You can install 2 x 4 GB of DDR3-1333 MHz memory in your notebook.

The 6 GB max listed in the manual is incorrect.

I do not think that an i7 suits me since on ebay they also ask $ 80 instead an Intel Core i5-2540M costs only $ 30 but in truth the only reason why I want to upgrade is for the graphics card, do you think the intel hd 3000 is higher than the 7450m in the laptop?

Your notebook has the Intel/AMD switchable graphics, and the AMD 7450M graphics adapter is more powerful than either the Intel 2000 or 3000 graphics.

You're very welcome.

You tink i can get the original HP recovery whit win 7?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Unfortunately, not anymore. 

I don't think you can download the Italian version of W7.

There are no W10 drivers for the switchable graphics, which is why your notebook's graphics performance is suffering.
