Question about sockets

[cristiandeluna97]

So I have a laptop with a i7-3540M with socket 988b rpga according to cpu-z
I also have a desktop with an i3 with socket 1150 LGA
My question is: Will the laptop's I7 work in my dekstop's socket? Also if not do I need to get that specific socket when buying a new processor?

It won't work, it's not nearly that simple. Just leave your laptop's processor alone, to be honest.

to get new cpu for the desktop, check your motherboard cpu support listed
