You will require to chang processor and mother board together. Not much complex, only these two consists of 30% to 50% of the computer cost.
In Laptop it would only be possible (if at all !!) by the manufacturer only.

i alter desktops approximately each and every 3 years. I usually do no longer bypass out and purchase a working laptop or computing gadget to try this however. I merely replace the motherboard and processor avery 3 years and improve the different hardware as mandatory , or whilst the cost of what i choose has dropped to a thieve of a deal.

on a desktop, it's as easy as lego's....on a notebook it's a little more complicated, either way you need to know the spec's on your mobo to check for compatibly, that will determine which chips fit on that specific board (check with mfg. for board spec's) then if it will fit, pop the case, remove heat sink and fan, swap the chip, some therm paste, put the heat sink and fan back on = all good.
btw: all these people that say it can't be done are crazy...I've done it on several notebooks, it's not easy and there are lot's of limitations but it is absolutely do-able'!

If you're using a laptop, then the only way you have to go is purchasing a new one unfortunately. Desktops you are able to upgrade the processor (granted your motherboard can support it).

it depends you gotta know if your motherboard is compatible with the processor, i wouldnt recommend switching it, because if you do one thing wrong, it could lead your computer to failing and it probably wont work again, or just contact hp and tell them if you can change the processor to the one you want to switch to, and tell them the model number of the processor, and the type of the processor, they might need that type of information
Good Luck!!!!!!!
