Hi:

 

The processor 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.

You're very welcome.

 

You can look up the part number of a motherboard you may be interested in (chapter 3) and, see if HP has one in stock.

 

Make sure you get the part number that has a Windows product key in the BIOS.

 

You should be able to use the same memory and hard drive.

 

HP Parts Store - HP Computer Parts - HP Printer Parts - Compaq Parts

 

Don't be surprised if it costs as much as you paid for your notebook.

 

Also make sure to check if you need a different heat sink for the more powerful processor. 

 

The heat sink/fan parts can also be found in chapter 3.
