Hello,

that not an overclock you just want it to run at it's boost clock all the time.

 

Try an app like intel XTU or Throttlestop

 

EDIT: be mindful of Temps :)

You laptop is already fast, because you are simply using the sixth gen of I7 which runs at 2.6 and 8 gigs of ram. As far as I know laptop CPUs could not be unlocked. Or even if it is unlockable, you'll have to pay some good money to do that. (I guess ~50$)

dont bother OCing your laptop, really, dont.

 

the only thing that's gonna be notably faster is the raise in thermals, and the draining of your battery.

laptops shouldn;t be overclocked because of the limited cooling capacity they have. the fans and heatsinks are manufactured around the stock TDP of the chip, any tampering might get your chip too hot for the cooling system to handle, and will result in your system throtteling harder or becoming unstable.

 

TL;DR, don't overclock laptops.
