Hi there, it´s very unlikelly to perform such an operation, specially on Home user Laptops, I guess your cpu is actually soldered to the Motherboard giving is an i3-5015U. Sorry pal

Edit: I searched a bit for your Motherboard

and it´s clear your cpu is actually soldered to the board, its for you Impossible.

but giving we are here to try to help if the specs from Toshiba Match your Laptop: http://support.toshiba.com/support/staticContentDetail?contentId=4007761&isFromTOCLink=false

it means it came with a stock HDD!!! Meaning to speed a shit toons your pc you have the SOLUTION of buying an SSD.

Buy an Samsung 850 evo minimum 250Gb and replace the base HDD. it should make your pc feel like a Milion bucks. Startup times will increase everything will be faster

Found a funny video how to change a HDD seems to be your Laptop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-jzfJkCGzA
