Sorry to say but the cpu in a laptop cannot be replaced as it is soldered to the motherboard. Replacing it would require you to replace the whole motherboard.
So if you need more CPU horsepower your best bet is to get a new laptop.

the Cpu comes out just fine no heat needed its not taking it out that's hard with the right knowledge and know how its simple but the hard part is finding a Cpu the motherboard will actually support

Do you think it wouldn't boot because you jumped two steps from an i3 to an i7? Have you ever tried the i5?
