How long does it take to upgrade a computer?
That depends entirely on what type of upgrade you are performing and your proficiency in doing so. Upgrading the amount of RAM in a system can be done in less than two minutes by a skilled technician. Upgrading the video card will probably take five to ten minutes. A motherboard upgrade will probably necessitate reinstalling the operating system, and require over an hour to perform.

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).
Does socket affect computer upgrading?
The CPU socket does not affect computer upgrading as much as one might think. There are some motherboards that can have a different CPU installed, resulting in increased performance. Many motherboards, however, are designed with a specific CPU in mind, and it is better, and cheaper in the long run, to replace the motherboard or even the entire system unit. (You can buy a whole new system for less than the price of replacing a motherboard, memory, and hard drives.)
