Changing processors

I have a AMD RAYZEN 5 2500U processor with Radeon vega mobile Gfx in my laptop. Windows 11 will not run on this processor. Will it be possible to change to the AMD RAYZEN 5 2500X processor???? All other areas are compatible with windows 11.

No, That processor is soldered to your laptop motherboard. It will cost more to upgrade the processor than the laptop is worth.

As per CPU World:

"Q: I have an AMD 2500U microprocessor. Can I upgrade it?

A: No. BGA processors, like this one, are soldered on a motherboard, as a result, upgrading or replacing them is extremely difficult."
