Upgrade processor

[89David89]

Hello! I have question for my notebook: HP Envy 15-as133cl with processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz 2.90 GHz.

Can I upgrade this processor? If yes which ones can I use? The best i9.

Thanks for reply!

Hi:

The processor is an integral part of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded unless you replace the motherboard with one listed in chapter 3 of your notebook's service manual that may come with a better processor.

HP ENVY Notebook PC (model numbers 15-as100 through 15-as199 and 15-as000 through 15-as099) Maintena...

There are no motherboards with Intel i9 processors for your notebook's model series.

Hello Paul!

Thanks for your fast reply! I downloaded service manual, and find chapter 3. If I understood well, so there are just two motherboards with processors which are same or more more powerful than my current motherboard now. Which one do you recommedend to me? Thank you!

motherboards:

1) Equipped with an Intel Core i7-7500U 2.70-GHz (SC turbo up to 3.50-GHz) processor (2133-MHz FSB, 4.0-MB L3 cache, dual core, 15-W) and the Windows 10 operating system

2) Equipped with an Intel Core i7-7500U 2.70-GHz (SC turbo up to 3.50-GHz) processor (2133-MHz FSB, 4.0-MB L3 cache, dual core, 15-W) and a non-Windows operating system
