Hello everyone,

         I'm trying to upgrade my old laptop to get it running as fast as it can go, my question here is, I've already been checking the Maintenance and service guide but I'd like to know if I can replace the AMD A6-3420M that already has with an AMD A10-4600M, I figured it could be compatible cause they both are 32nm, use the same fs1 socket, and use the same wattage, but again I dont know alot about the subject or how to know what's compatible and what not :S.

 

Thanks in advance ❤️

Hi:

 

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

 

c03094202 (hp.com)

 

Chapter 1, page two lists the supported AMD processors.

 

Looks like the best processor you can upgrade to according to the manual would be the AMD A8-3520M.
