Can I change the processor of a laptop?

Can I change the processor of my lap hp 1000-1110LA
Intel Celeron B820 at 1.70 GHz for an Intel core i3 or i5?

You cannot.
Most laptops can only upgrade the storage (HDD/SSD) and/or memory (RAM).

Your only upgrade path is to buy a different machine.

You actually might be able to. From what I can find online, that thing uses a Celeron B820 CPU, which is socketable, and you can apparently pick up for €4 on eBay.

That said, it's ancient hardware. Unless you absolutely need that machine for something, I'd either look into a cheap-as-chips replacement laptop (anything will be an upgrade), or a Raspberry Pi if you're comfortable with a little more hand-on stuff.

Thanks for the advice

Something like this should fit it. Your laptop supports a g2 socket, one of the last mobile generations that supports socketed cpus. Just make sure you have spare thermal paste when you switch it over

As someone on a similar processor, just save up for a new laptop.
2nd-gen Core i5 doesn't play well with Windows 10.

Laptop CPUs are soldered in it's also expensive to buy someone like Dell would buy them for 40
You would pay 200 you could buy a used mother board CPU combo on eBay UK but it might be cheaper buying new laptop
Some people might sell laptop with broken screen cheaply
