CPU upgrade?

[Deadlife129]

I have an HP 15 laptop that I purchased for college. It came with 4GB of RAM and a max speed of 2GHz on the CPU. I use a lot of virtual machines for school and its becoming a bit of a pain in the ass. Anytime I was using a virtual machine, the CPU and Memory would skyrocket to 80-99% and the fan would kick on. I changed out the RAM card and now I have 8GB of RAM and that has improved things drastically, however the CPU is still skyrocketing, not just when I use a virtual machine, but when I do just about anything now. I have an AMD A6-5200 Processor and I'm trying to find out if I should upgrade to something better or if there is anything else I can do that won't require me to buy a new laptop because unfortunately that is not an option for me. If I can upgrade, what should I upgrade to? Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance.

I don't think you can upgrade the CPU on that laptop, seems soldered in. Maybe get a new laptop?

Processor is BGA769. BGA processors are soldered in, so you're fresh outta luck with CPU upgrades.

Like they said, 99.9% of motherboards in laptops have CPU soldered on. Can't change those. Just one of the limitations laptops have
