AMD A8-4500M Upgrade to an A10-5750M Help

[Trailblazer_117]

so my laptop came with an a8 4500m and i heard that you can upgrade it to an a10 5750 m. In order to upgrade what steps should I take prior to installing the new cpu. Bios update drivers? If any on can help that would be greatly appreciated. 😀

It should be possible, but it definitely won't be a cost effective upgrade. Where are you going to get the A10? From a used and/or broke system?

I admit that's cheaper than I thought it would be, but working on laptops is not an easy endeavor.

I've built a desktop PC before and there is plenty of disassembling videos. though I'm just worried about bios compatibility and my laptop recognizing the new CPU

btw what did you think the price would be? for the cpu

My laptop is a HP G6 2278DX

Hey Trailblazer_117 did you manage to upgrade your CPU? I have the same laptop and I want to do do it too.

Was it worth it?
