You can't change the CPU of any laptop motherboard.  You would have to change the entire board and besides costing more than a new laptop, most people don't have that skill as it is not a DIY project.

 

That model should not be slow.  It is probably a configuration issue.  I'd backup any user data and wipe the drive and reinstall a clean version of Windows, then test the speed.  I'd bet it would be fine then.

 

Check for crapware, for a resource hogging antivirus, etc.

 

Good luck

you can also make a bootable Linux USB key.  Don't get the cheap (ie from Staples where you get a 8G USB key for a few dollars) USB key.  I use USB keys rated at 150-600Mb/sec read times.  These are a few dollars more but so worth it.

Then I download Linux and can boot from the key and test hardware.  99% of the time it is a bad Windows configuration
