Question would a amd ryzen 7 fit into a rPGA988B / BGA1023 socket?

[Dudiebug]

i am thinking on getting a amd ryzen 7 1700x for a new cpu and want to make sure it fits

No. Ryzen CPUs will only fit AM4 socket motherboards. If you're looking for an upgrade, please provide the model number of your motherboard.

whould the intel Core i7-2630 Be A good Choice?

I would not recommend taking apart your laptop to change the processor if you've never done something like that. Most laptops, especially older ones, don't even allow you to upgrade the parts

Absolutely not. And don’t attempt a cpu upgrade on a laptop either. Build a new pc

Assuming you have the rPGA988 socket. yes. That would be a good option.

Edit: I would note that this is not a simple process and I would not attempt this on your primary system. If this is just a laptop you use for testing, that's fine, but if you depend on this system for regular use, do not attempt this.
