Hello,

I am trying to upgrade my HP 14-BW0XX laptop, Im having trouble finding out which parts are compatible. I am thinking that i need/want to replace the mother/system board so that i can improve the gpu/cpu. Can anyone give me a link to compatible parts that i might have a look at please.

Hi, are these the parts that I should be looking at? Sorry I thought it would say Motherboard or something similar…

Yes, the proper terminology for a motherboard is 'system board.'

Thanks, looking at only them options isn’t really an impressive set of parts. Are they my only choices?

You're very welcome.

 

Yes, what you see is what you get.

 

I don't recommend replacing/upgrading motherboards in notebook PC's unless you can buy one dirt cheap,

 

You're better off selling or trading in your notebook and buying one with hardware you would be happy with.
