The power supply should be disconnected first. Then comes the CPU cooler. Then the processor can be safely removed from the socket.

Is replacing a motherboard is fairly compicated process whereas replacing a processor is much simple?

I would not call it complicated, but it can be time consuming. You do have to remove the components that connect to the motherboard (including the processor), and reinstall them to the new one. Swapping out the processor is a simple job, but making sure that the new processor is supported by the existing motherboard can be tricky. You have to take into account, not only the motherboard model, but its revision and bios version.

How hard is it to replace the computer processor on a motherboard?

You can change or upgrade your PC's processor if it is compatible with the motherboard. With some basic knowledge and care it can be fairly easy. If you have a motherboard user guide that also helps. Typically there will be a heat sink on the processor mounted on the processor socket. You need to remove this and take out the processor and then after putting the new processor you can put back the heat sink. As processors are very delicate static sensitive integrated circuits or modules make sure you use a anti-static wrist band or at least touch a metal surface before you handle the processor. There are a number of help pages on web for this. Do some study by going through these.

Is it possible to replace processors in laptops?

Sorry, but no. Not unless you have a very sophisticated soldering station at which you can remove the old processor and install a new processor directly to the motherboard of the laptop. The only option that a typical technician has is to replace the entire motherboard and the replacement board would have the same processor installed, so if your idea is to gain additional processing power by upgrading, you would have no advantage in doing this. Laptop motherboards are proprietary and each model of laptop has its own design of motherboard. Therefore, they are not interchangeable.If you have other questions about this or other such related issues, feel free to drop me a line. I'm always glad to help (or, as in this case, at least advise).
