If your current cpu is not socketed, then no way.

If it is, then there is a chance as these are from the same generation, but will require chipset and more importantly bios support.

I can't find any evidence of anyone upgrading this laptop, so I don't know if it's possible or not.

Is there a way to know if the BIOS is compatible? Before I burn the laptop?

if you can't find data that the laptops BIOS and mainboard supported multiple CPUs....then this will not end well.

Thank you. I just found out that the laptop processor is connected to the motherboard, and I cannot change it anyway. I was thinking of burning it

Do not burn it. It will release toxic fumes. Giving away or selling used working hardware gives others the opportunity to have a computer that otherwise may not--consider it.
