I recently bought a new laptop to replace my old one which was a lost cause i was covered under geek squad to replace my laptop with a "comparable" model and they only had one in the same sort of capability range as my old one so i took it however as i later found out this laptops processor speed is way slower than my old ones and is nowhere near capable of running the programs i need/want/could run on my old laptop. I'm looking to see if i can individually upgrade just my processor or if i'm SOL and just need to shell out for a better computer my current laptop is an HP 15-f004dx with an AMD Dual-Core Processor E1-2100 (1.0 GHz), 500GB Hard Drive, and 4GB of RAM. I've contacted HP to see if i could upgrade the individual parts of my laptop but they never gave me a straight answer only "Any tampering with the internal hardware of your computer would void your warrant" and "Attempts to alter the internal hardware of your computer could affect its ability to run" the only reason i haven't bought a new processor is because i don't know if my laptop is capable of being upgraded mainly because i know some laptop parts a soldered together making them completely irremovable and if i can change them i don't know what other processors would be compatible with my computer. So those are my two questions. 1) Can i upgrade my laptop? and 2) What processors can I upgrade to? I'm looking for something that has around a 2.0-2.2 GHz processing speed. Thanks in advance.

I wold go back to them and point out how different yours is compared to the old one unless you are talking about this happening a while ago. The E1 is a starter CPU and is almost always soldered to the motherboard so it's not replacable. Either way, even if you could remove it, the system is designed for the specific power and heat use of that CPU, you will need to find a CPU with the same power use and same socket. Which is a moot point because there is almost a 100% chance the CPU is part of the motherboard.
