Can I fit/replace my existing motherboard with a different motherboard. Existing mothboard is 15-br015na. Hp Pavilion x360 convertible.

That is not a viable upgrade.

 

A different system board would likely have different ports and even a different processor platform. The operating system you have is linked to the original system board and not transferable to a new one. The currently installed memory would not be compatible.

 

For that reason, the replacement should be identical to the original system board.

 

BTW, "Existing mothboard is 15-br015na" , is not the part number for the system board.
