I am Trying to upgrade this laptops motherboard/cpu/gpu, help???

[Keanan]

I was looking for a new laptop because I was in need of one but they were all very expensive and over priced. So my friend gave me their old unused one from 2015. I however found that it was very slow, so the first thing i did was upgrade the HDD to an SSD and upgraded the RAM from 4gb to 8gb. these two upgrades helped drastically to improve the performance of the free laptop. However it is still slow in areas and I've come to the conclusion that it is because the CPU just doesn't cut it. The CPU I am running is the Intel Celeron N3060 @1.6gHz and it is the soldered one so i can not replace it easily. This lead me to find ways to fix this so I have decided to try find out if i can upgrade or change the motherboard to a better one that has a CPU socket instead of a soldered one and one that has better graphics.

The board i have is a "HP 8320"

And the graphics are just Intel HD Graphics

Is there any boards that would meet this criteria or exceed it that will still fit in the case with minor to no modifications?

I would also like to upgrade the screen too because this screen is very dull and does not have vivid colors or brightness.

Any help with either the CPU/Motherboard/Screen would be very helpful.

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

Replacing a motherboard or a processor will cost as same as a new computer. 

NOTE: HP does not recommend upgrading or downgrading hardware parts or software that is bundled with the product as It may affect the manufacturer's warranty and performance, however, you could change the configuration at your own discretion.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

okay well is it possible and is there links to it?

also i just looked now and there seems to be no fan in my laptop, this is very annoying because the laptop heats up a crap tone.

Anyway is there a screen replacement for this model as it is way too dim to watch anything in the day time.

Thank you for posting back. 

To get the answer to this question, No! its not possible to upgrade the motherboard or CPU as they are system amanaged. 

Next, it not possible to build a computer without fan. For more information on reducing heat inside your computer, see Reducing Heat Inside the PC.

I would request you to contact our Support and our Support Engineers should be able to check the avaiable service options in order to replace the replace the display. HP Support can be reached by clicking on the following link:  www.hp.com/contacthp/
