Depends on what motherboard is installed. Here's the Service Manual-  http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03099448.pdf 

 

You use a utility like CPU-Z to find out what motherboard you have then use the Service Manual to look which cpu it can support.  For us to help more we'd need specific info like CPU and motherboard model.

Good, we are a couple steps further. Now look at CPU-Z first tab, the CPU tab, what is the "Processor Name"?

Looks like you can upgrade to a  i7-2860QM 2.50-GHz  which would be 300mhz faster and SC Boost from 3000 mhz to 3600 mhz.
