HP Pavilion dv7-2065ef Entertainment Notebook PC
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello! I want to upgrade the processor of my HP Pavilion DV7 2065ef laptop. Motherboard DAUT3DMB8D0 REV D, UT35 ATI. Currently there is an Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo P7450. I want to replace it with a quad-core QX9300 or Q9100. Is it possible? Which processors will fit my motherboard. Is it possible to replace the motherboard to install the QX9300? Thank you!

Hi:

 

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

 

pavilion_dv7.pdf (manualslib.com)

 

Chapter 1 has the list of supported processors.

 

The Q9100 processor is supported according to the manual.

 

That would be the only information I can provide.

Is it possible to upgrade with a suitable motherboard to install a 4-core processor?

The Q9100 is a quad core processor, and the service manual indicates that processor is supported.
