The way to identify your notebook is with its product number or product name, not as you have done at this point. 

 

Open the HP Support Assistant to see what the product name  or number is.

 

Generally  speaking, the notebook systemboards with Core i3 processors installed,  have the processor soldered in.

 

I won't know for sure until you identify your notebook with a product name or product number.
