How to Upgrade a Laptop CPU / Processor! XD

Here is the general procedure for upgrading a processor in a windows based laptop.

Note that this procedure greatly depends on the type of laptop you have. Very thin ultrabooks and the like may not be upgrade-able because the cpu can be soldered directly to the motherboard.

Make sure you unplug the laptop from the wall and remove the battery before attempting this upgrade.

I've gotten multiple questions about how to know what cpu models are compatible with a given laptop. The answer is complicated, but here are some general guidelines:
1. You cannot switch from INTEL to AMD or vise-versa
2. Look online to see what processors were offered with your device when it was new. Any of those processors are likely to work. This is probably the best method.
3. Another clue would be to look up your chipset and see what CPUs it supports.
