Can my laptop processor change its a hp 610 1.86 dual core?

i want to upgrade it to a quad core will it be a problem and how much it would cost to do itCan my laptop processor change its a hp 610 1.86 dual core?At the moment, not very many people have quad-core laptops nor are many quad-core processors available for laptops. But, it is possible to upgrade a laptop processor, it's just more irritating than upgrading a desktop one.



First, you have to determine the type of socket for your CPU. To do this, you can download CPU-Z and run it. Under %26quot;Package%26quot; on the main %26quot;CPU%26quot; tab, it should give you the Socket type on your laptop. Currently, the only Core 2 Quad for the laptop on Newegg.com matches the Socket P.



Second, you will have to do some research on your mainboard. Through CPU-Z, go to the %26quot;Mainboard%26quot; tab and find the model and manufacturer of the mainboard and look up on the company's website, or google.com, if it supports Core 2 Quad processors.



If your laptop passes these prerequisites, it should be able to run a Core 2 Quad. However, you should make sure you can get to and remove your CPU before buying a new one. So, open the bottom of your computer and see if you can find and remove the CPU of your laptop. Make sure to ground yourself by touching something metal before working on your laptop so you don't accidentally fry it with a static shock. If you can take out your processor, then you know you can also put a new one in.



If all goes well, then it's time to buy your processor and get to work with changing it. At Newegg.com, the Q9000 runs costs $364.99 USD, so it's quite pricey to upgrade your laptop to a Quad-core processor at the moment. However if this price is reasonable to you, go ahead and upgrade if you have made sure it is compatible with your laptop.

you can change to any processors but you will need to check if it fits the socket you're currently using.

but i would assume, for Hp since its an oem, you will need to change the motherboard together.

and its always good to do that cause if you processor is fast and you motherboard is not, it could overheat and bust your motherboard
