I want to upgrade a CPU on an old laptop because I'll be taking it apart anyway.  Before I do anything I want to make sure one of these is compatible with the BIOS:

i7-2720QM

i7-2760QM

i7-2670QM

 

Will any of these CPU's work with that BIOS?

Of those only the i7-2670QM is listed in the Manual. The processor is supported at any BIOS level so should work on your motherboard.
