I have a HP Pavilion - 15-cw0020au It has reached the end of life because of the processor. Can I upgrade the processor?

@Heathkin1,

 

Your HP Pavilion - 15-cw0020au (4WW28PA) as fitted with the SSID: 84E5 motherboard and fixed AMD A9-9425 APU processor, cannot be upgraded with a different processor.


Your only option is to swap motherboards with an imbedded AMD Ryzen 5 2500U processor (SSID: 84E7), which has p/n: L22762-601.

 

Kind Regards,

I also have an HP Pavilion 15 cw with an AMD 9 RADEON 9425 and 84E5 motherboard, the PC is not even capable of playing a video without the screen freezing, I would like to know which processor is compatible with my motherboard to see the purchased one and change. Or failing that, is it possible to change the motherboard entirely?

@SDFRGT,

 

The motherboard fitted with the AMD Ryzen 5 2500U would have no problem playing a video compared with the AMD A9 9425 APU: https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-Ryzen-5-2500U-vs-AMD-A9-9425-APU-2016-MSR/m378273vsm496441.

 

You'll have to look for the motherboard I mentioned fitted with an imbedded AMD Ryzen 5 2500U processor (SSID: 84E7), which has p/n: L22762-601.

 

Kind Regards,

Thank you! And is the AMD Ryzen 5 you mentioned to me compatible with my 84E5 mother board?

@SDFRGT,

 

As I mentioned in my responses, the processor is NOT swappable/interchangeable: you'll have to purchase a different motherboard with the AMD Ryzen 5 processor imbedded as I listed.

 

Kind Regards,
