Hi, Todd:

Below is the link to the service manual for the dv7-7100 model series.

The list of 35W processors can be found in chapter 1.

The best processor you can install would be the Intel Core i7-3612QM 35W processor.

The 45W quad core processors require a different motherboard.

[TJ8799]

so the Intel Core i7-3612QM 35W will work in it 

that would be a nice increase from a i5 

Thank you will look for the Intel Core i7-3612QM 35W

You're very welcome,  Todd. 

.

Yes, the 35W quad core processor will work just fine. 

Cheers,

Hi:

The i7-2670QM is not supported because it is a 45W processor.

Intel® Core™ i7-2670QM Processor

Your PC's motherboard only supports 35W processors.
