HP Pavilion g7-1316dx Notebook PC
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

I have a HP Pavilion G7-1316dx notebook PC With the  A60M UMA motherboard and the A4-3305 processor. I am running windows 10 64-bit. 

I want to upgrade this laptop as much as possible and my first question is 

Is it possible to replace the motherboard with A60M DSC HD6470/1G   which is replacement part # 649950-001??

 

If that is possible what is the fastest processor that motherboard can accept?

 

Can either my original Motherboard A60M UMA or the A60M DSC HD6470/1G accept the A8-3550MX or A8-3530MX??

 

Thank you very much for your help!!

Part    # 649950-001 is for 65 machines from different series

It may not physically fit and ports would have different location. From its manual,

 

Your machine would have a new life.
