It will depend on whether or not your installed version of Windows 7 is Windows 7 Starter.

The following CPUs are compatible with the systemboard in your notebook.

Thanks Erico. My system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. Just to clarify your answer. This definitely helps with my confidence knowing I can go all the way to the i5 processor.

Erico,

I've been doing some research on the i5-2540M cpu at the cpu world web site. Would this be compatable with the i5-2430M that you recommended for this same lap top?

Erico stated from the manual this lap top is compatable with the i5-2430M   35W.

Would an i5-2520M   35W and or i5-2540M   35W processor be compatable too?

This lap top has the HM65 Intel Express Chipset. Intel's compatablity web page shows these two processors are compatable. 

Anyone have any concerns?

Will this list of processors also work if you have upgraded to the new Windows 8?

I understand you have a question concerning what processors you can update to with Windows 8.

You should be able to use any of the compatible processors regardless of the OS that is installed with the exception of Starter editions.  What determines which processors will work is the motherboard and the BIOS.  The processors Erico referenced can be found on page 82 of the following guide.

So I can use the Intel Core i5-2430M 2.40-GHz processor (1333-MHz FSB, 3.0-MB L3 cache, dual core, 35 W processor with my Compaq CQ57-339WM running Windows 8 Pro?? Do you have any idea where I can buy this ? Does that mean that the processor that is currently in my PC is in a socket and not soldered to the motherboard? Also will my BIOS version support an upgraded processor? Thank you for the help!

Try Ebay. I purchased a B980 pentium processor for $18 but havn't installed yet. I have the same laptop. See the link for the i5 processor. You can search for others as well.

Using that processor with Windows 8 Pro won't be an issue.  The only exception listed is Windows 7 Starter.  You can search online for the HP part number in the guide I provided to find the processor.  Or search online using the processor model as well.  Dk714 has provided one option available on eBay.  If you do use eBay, be sure to purchase from a reputable seller.
