So, recently, I've been wanting to upgrade my laptop CPU to something more powerful. I learned that I can't move up generation's due to the different socket types that don't match my motherboard. The thing is, I'm not even sure I can upgrade to an i7 in the same generation from just looking at the Intel website. I need a little more info before I sink that money into a new processor that ends up not fitting onto the motherboard. Also, would it be worth it to upgrade? And am I wrong about moving up generations?
Current Configuration:
HP Pavilion Dv6t-6c00 Entertainment Notebook
Intel 2nd gen dual core i5-2430M Sandy Bridge (Intel 3000 HD integrated graphics)
8GB RAM
500GB Samsung SSD
HP Motherboard with Intel chipset
