I’ve got an older MSI gaming laptop that was king back in the day. I had issues upgrading Win 8 (It just wouldn't – kept cycling and trying to). Did feel VERY slow as well so figured it was done and bought PC. Clearing out the cupboard I found it and booted it up. Such a nice machine, mint condition! Great audio. I did a performance check and the processor rated really bad and the hardrive mechanical! So figure if I can replace the processor and install a SSD (which I have) I’m good to go! Question is the processor seems built in so not sure I can remove it to replace it with something better? Does anyone know how to replace the CPU? It look like the whole little board that houses the processor needs updating considering the process seems to be built into it?

Really need some advice here. It’s such a shame binning what could be a perfectly good laptop! Everything else works great. What a shame.

It’s currently AMD A10-5750M APU Radion HD Graphics 2.50Ghz.
