Laptops dont allow for such upgrades (also the CPU you have is a i3-370M), as newer CPUs have different sockets which dont allow you to use the newer CPUs in a older socket

Also in laptops upgrading CPU can be tricky even when the sockets are the same, as manufactures sometimes "lock" laptop into using a limited amount of CPUs

The best you can do is upgrade to a higher end CPU from the same older model CPU you have but, like I said, even that might not work so normally the only way to find out is to try it

I should probably use commas
