That's a good question -- for HP, not Intel.

In order for a processor to be upgraded,

The existing processor must be socketed. Many laptops do not socket their processors, making them almost impossible to replace.
The new processor must be supported by the motherboard's power, cooling and BIOS subsystems.

Only the manufacturer of the motherboard can answer (all of) these questions.
