Hi. I was just wondering if my Toshiba Satellite C850-B559 laptop could handle an Intel i7 core? Because I am planning to replace my Intel i3 core with an i7 from a scavenged system unit. Please reply. Thank you.

No. Looks like that model was only available with an i3. It will lack BIOS support as well as the extra power and cooling needed for an i7.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Better to be safe than frying the insides of my laptop.
