Product: HP pavilion 15-g093sa
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, I bought my HP pavilion 15-g093sa with a rather sluggish AMD A4-6210 APU with Radion R3 graphics 1.8 GHz. My question is: can I upgrade to a better one? Recently upgraded my ram to 8gb which has improved the performance but need a better processor if possible... thanks

See p. 19 of the Manual here:

 

Manual

 

When the system boards (motherboards) include mention of a processor it means the processor is soldered onto the board and cannot be removed and replaced without replacing the whole motherboard. You might be able to find a reasonably priced motherboard (maybe $100-150) but the economics of that don't make much sense to me. If you want to keep the laptop your next best upgrade would be a solid state drive. 

 

Post back with any other questions but please accept as solution if this is the answer you needed.
