Hi:

 

The processor your notebook has is an integral part of the motherboard.

 

The only way to upgrade the processor would be to replace the motherboard with one listed in chapter 3 of your notebook's service manual that may come with a better processor.

 

It would be very expensive to perform such an upgrade, assuming you can find the parts you need.
