No on the AMD E-series processor models the processor is soldered right into the motherboard so there is no way to upgrade short of replacing the whole motherboard and buying a processor and heatsink to work with the different motherboard setup. By the time you do that, you can buy a new laptop. You have a very, very low powered computer there and your best option is to get something more powerful, which would be just about anything sold today for $400 or more. Stay away from budget bargain machines or if you see a low price ask for a full explanation of the processor which is provided. Laptop makers these days try to sell laptops for very low prices and to do so they are installing processors that would barely be good enough to run a cellphone let alone a computer.
