I currently have an HP Notebook that I would like to upgrade the processor on. It currently has an AMD A12 9700p Radeon R7. can I upgrade the processor on it?

Hi:

Unfortunately, that would not be possible.

Your notebook has the best AMD processor that was available in the model series.

HP Notebook PC (AMD) * Models: 15-ba100 – 15-ba199 * Models: 15-ba000 – 15-ba099 * Models: 15-bf100 ...

If you are wanting to know that info because the processor doesn't meet the requirements to run W11...

This does not necessarily mean you can't install W11 on your PC, but you would have to perform a clean install and reinstall all of your programs and files.

If you want to see if W11 works on your PC, you can make a bootable W11 USB installer from the link below.

See this article.  3rd headline from the bottom.

If for some reason, W11 does not work correctly on your PC, you can reinstall W10.

I currently have W11 clean installed on two PC's that I have, that do not meet the requirements for the W11 upgrade and they both work fine on W11 so far.

Would there be a way to change the motherboard to an intel motherboard?  My AMD is slower than I would like.

There were no Intel motherboards designed to fit in your notebook's model series.
