how to upgrade the processor in an HP Envy Recline 27 all-in-one computer

[wiankemp]

AFTER my warranty expires... Can I upgrade the processor in an HP Envy Recline 27 all-in-one computer? I presently have an Intel Core i7-4765T core @ 2.00 GHz. Is the BIOS able to receive a faster CPU in the future?

Well I can confirm you can upgrade it to a Intel Core i7-4770T (Haswell) 2.5 GHz Quad Core

Unfortunately HP has not posted a step by step disassembly manual as I am used to having for laptops. I also could not find a guide on youtube. All-in-ones are a little easier to disassemble than laptops, but not much.

Thanks for the info. A bit disappointing that I can gain only a bit more. Probably not worth the price and effort. Had to try tho.

Thanks again

2.0 to 2.5 would be significant. But only of you run the computer as a professional video or photo editing workstation or for CAD design work. For everything else, the processor you have is more than adequate.

Thanks again
