15-p076no is the full model number.
Specs:
You have the A10-5745M APU (processor with integrated video card).
The processor is soldered to the motherboard and you already have the best processor offered in that model series and the best switchable discrete graphics on the motherboard so you are already at the top and there is no room to go up any further.

15-076no is not a recognized model number. Most models made in the last 3 or 4 years have the CPU soldered to the motherboard but not all. I see you have an AMD processor and those tend to be upgradeable more than Intels but the devil is in the details. Go into HP Support Assistant and it should provide the Product Number which we can also translate into model number and find the correct service manual.

Then I would suggest disassembly, cleaning around the processor and reapplication of thermal compound between the top of the processor and bottom of the heatsink. You can accomplish some good without disassembly by sticking a bent-out paperclip in the fan grille to hold the blades and blasting in compressed air to see if you can get rid of dust buildup. AMD processors do tend to run hot but 105 C is too hot to last very long.
