why you need to upgrade cpu? Is your integrated gpu getting bottlenecked by i5?

If you go over 35w tdp then your heatsink might not be able to handle it, ive gone from 35 to 45w and had to use cooling pad and liquid metal to get it cool. Just like prostar said its a gamble. You could find more info on this issue if you disassembly your laptop and check motherboard model number.

If you match the socket to the CPU, then the only other variable should be the BIOS. Even updated, HP may have their firmware not support select CPUs. There's a fair chance a lot of people reading this won't know/won't have that information, so this may be a matter of trial and error.

The mobile CPUs here - only the ones ending in "M" or "QM" - are at least compatible with your socket, I believe: https://ark.intel.com/products/codename/29902/Ivy-Bridge#@mobile
