HP Pavilion dv3-1124ca Entertainment Notebook PC

I have a 2009 HP Pavilion Entertainment dv3t Notebook PC. This is the best built laptop I have owned from an aesthetic and solid-build perspective, including subsequent HP, Toshiba and Dell products I have purchased. However, it is sadly way out of date and the Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor T6500 (2.1GHz) will not perform well enough for running the CAD and graphics programs I use nor will it work with Windows 10. Is there a way to upgrade the motherboard?
