I'm looking to see if it's possible to upgrade my laptop processor and if so what do I need to do. I recently got a Toshiba Satellite laptop c55t- b5230 as a gift. I like the laptop but I'm having problems with the gaming aspect. I like to play the sims 4 alot and with this laptop it is incredibly slow. (Over 5 minutes to load and mediocre graphics) I would like to upgrade the processor if that is possible to make the laptop faster. I've searched the web for over a week and I still have no clue what to do. I've saved around $300 that I am willing to spend on the upgrade. Any help would be appreciated :)

I'm sorry to tell you but very few laptops allow for a processor upgrade. Being that its a budget laptop from Toshiba I'm 99% sure that the processor is soldiered to the board. Its probably not even the simplest thing to get to either. I would say keep saving money and sell the Laptop on eBay (you could probably get $200 for it) and get yourself a Core i5 based laptop.
