Theoretically it can be done but unless you can do the labor yourself it is not really cost effective. The parts alone will be the equivalent of several hundred $US and labor would be in that range as well. It requires a complete teardown and reassembly of the laptop. The plastic housing for a touchscreen is usually different than for a non-touch meaning you need the whole "hinges up" screen assembly. You likely but not certainly would also need to reinstall the operating system so it sets itself up for a touchscreen.

This means it's better to change the device than do the labor, I got it. Also, its cost will be equivalent to a new laptop. Thank you for your reply. I am accepting your reply as a solution.
